Cyclone Biparjoy's Impact on Gujarat State and Relief Efforts.

Coastal areas of Gujarat state in India are returning to normalcy after cyclone Biparjoy hit the region. Over 1,500 villages are still without electricity, down from initial outages in over 4,600 villages. Heavy rains continue to lash northern districts of the state, causing flooding. However, ports along the coastline have resumed operations. The storm caused extensive damage, especially to power infrastructure, uprooting thousands of electricity poles and damaging overhead power lines. Early warnings, accurate identification of vulnerable areas, and timely evacuations helped India to avert major casualties.
