The IMD said cyclone ‘Asna’, which was first developed off the coast of Kutch on Friday, has now turned into a depression and is moving further south-southwestwards in the Arabian Sea on Monday. In the wake of severe weather conditions, the state government has initiated relief and cleanup operations throughout the affected regions.

The state government has also put 132 reservoirs on ‘high alert’ and reported that 10 rivers are overflowing.
