TL;DR Summary

India and Pakistan have evacuated over 180,000 people from vulnerable coastal areas in the path of cyclone Biparjoy, set to make landfall by Thursday night. The cyclone could cause tidal waves in the Arabian Sea as high as 2 m to 3 m (7 to 10 ft) that could inundate low-lying coastal areas in both countries. More than 100,000 people have been evacuated from eight coastal districts in Gujarat likely to be affected by the cyclone and moved to shelters, the state government said. Authorities said evacuations have been completed in Pakistan, where about 82,000 people were moved from high-risk coastal areas.
