As heavy rainfall and strong winds intensified ahead of the cyclone, it is expected to cross between Karaikal and Mahabalipuram coasts, near Puducherry tonight. Multiple airlines companies already issued travel advisories and updates on their flight plans due to the continuing heavy rainfall in Chennai Tamilnadu.

"Due to the impact of CycloneFengal in Chennai, flights operating to the city are being diverted. Our crew and airport teams are dedicated to providing all possible support &amp; assistance during this time. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding," the X post by IndiGo said. Meanwhile, security at the Puducherry coast has also increased as Puducherry Senior Superintendent of Police, Kalaivanan visited the beaches and the coastal roads in the region and inspected them for preparedness. The authorities have advised the public to not visit beaches in Puducherry as well as in Tamil Nadu's Chennai, including Marina Beach, Pattinapakkam and Edward Elliot Beach. The tourist spots in Puducherry have been closed as a precautionary measure, owing to the impending cyclone Fengal. <keyword id="24240138" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Puducherry-police" source="keywords">Puducherry Police</keyword> in a post on X advised citizens, "In view of Cyclone Fengal, we urge you to exercise extreme caution and avoid visiting beaches and coastal areas" The SSP said that 300 police personnel have been deployed on various coastal roads and beaches. "For the last four days, we have been deploying police personnel along the beaches and apart from that we are also informing the fishermen and people living in the low-lying areas to be careful.

We have deployed nearly 300 personnel across all the beaches of Puducherry and we are coordinating with the NDRF also," the SSP said.

Cyclone Fengal: Chennai airport shut till 7 PM

Being the first cyclone in the <keyword id="19929177" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bay-of-Bengal" source="keywords">Bay of Bengal</keyword> this pre-monsoon season, <keyword id="21792316" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cyclone-Remal" source="keywords">Cyclone Remal</keyword> caused quite a bit of stir even before its arrival. As for what happened after it made landfall as a <keyword id="21782592" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Severe-Cyclonic-Storm" source="keywords">Severe Cyclonic Storm</keyword>, the trail of destruction it is leaving in its wake should be answer enough. It is being said that the BoB cyclone has only caused moderate damage so far, but reports indicate that it has still managed to cause some major disruptions. <keyword id="19896626" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kolkata" source="keywords">Kolkata</keyword>, in particular, is still piecing itself together after the storm's destructive Sunday night visit. For reference, <keyword id="19896626" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kolkata" source="keywords">Kolkata</keyword> accumulated 146 mm of rainfall between 8:30 AM on Sunday and 5:30 AM on Monday, with other areas, including Haldia (110 mm), Tamluk (70 mm) and Nimpith (70 mm), in the vicinity also witnessing heavy rains during the period. As per reports, the storm triggered wall-collapse in the Entali area, resulting in the death of a 51-year-old man. Further, the incessant rains, along with gusty winds, uprooted many trees and damaged electricity poles. Kolkata, which has the propensity to flood at the tiniest provocation, saw waterlogging in several areas amid heavy rainfall. The roadblockage further impeded movement within the West Bengal capital. Metro services, flights and trains have all been either partially or completely suspended since Sunday noon, causing considerable inconvenience to commuters and leaving many stranded. On the bright side, things are slowly returning to normal. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Remal has already weakened into a cyclone and is on the path to undergo further de-intensification today. Municipal authorities and disaster management teams are out in force, wielding shovels and determination as they clear debris, remove fallen trees, and work tirelessly to restore normalcy to the city. The ever-reliable <keyword id="20027053" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kolkata-metro" source="keywords">Kolkata Metro</keyword> is also running on a limited schedule due to waterlogging on the tracks. Flight operations at the airport have thankfully resumed, but locals must be prepared for delays and cancellations as the city sorts itself out. However, Kolkata isn't quite in the clear yet. A red alert issued for Murshidabad and Nadia districts warns of heavy rainfall (7-20 cm) – residents there should be prepared for potential flash floods and overflowing rivers. The city itself can expect a soaking with continuous rain, thundershowers, and strong winds that could gust up to a forceful 80 kmph. So, Kolkata, hold onto your hats (and maybe invest in a sturdier umbrella)!
