Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reached Gujarat's Bhavnagar and will soon undertake an aerial survey of areas that are affected by Cyclone Tauktae in the state and neighbouring Union Territory of Diu.
The cyclone, which has ravaged the country's west coast, made landfall on the Gujarat coast on Monday night and proceeded as a very severe cyclonic storm before weakening gradually. According to news agency ANI, the PM will proceed for an aerial survey of Una, Diu, Jafarabad and Mahuva.
After the aerial survey of the three districts which are badly affected by the cyclone, he will hold a review meeting with Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and officials of the state administration in Ahmedabad.
"PM Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat on Wednesday to conduct an aerial survey of the areas of Amreli, Gir Somnath and Bhavnagar districts hit by Cyclone Tauktae. The PM will also hold a review meeting with CM Vijay Rupani and top officials of the State later in Ahmedabad", Gujarat CMO said in a tweet.
The Prime Minister will return to the national capital in the evening.
Ahead of the PM's visit, Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday discussed with his Gujarat counterpart Vijay Rupani the impact of Cyclone Tauktae in the state.
ANI reported that it is the strongest cyclonic storm to impact Gujarat since 1998.
