Stand beside cyclone victims: Khaleda

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia today called upon the countrymen to extend their helping hands to the cyclone affected people.

“Everyone should stand beside the cyclone Mora affected people. I pray to Allah to give them (cyclone victims) strength for overcoming the situation,” she said in a tweet message.

At least six people died in Cox’s Bazar and Rangamati after the cyclone made landfall today and crossed the coast of Chittagong.

Met office said the cyclonic storm will weaken gradually and reduce to a depression as it moves further north.

The cyclone that made landfall near Kutubdia around 6:00am did not prove to be as devastating as feared.

Last known, the storm was moving across the coastal areas of Chittagong.edailystar
