The authorities had deployed more than 5000 army in the coastal areas to help the people evacuate the area and go to the cyclone shelters. We heaved a sigh of relief when the cyclone petered out with torrents of rain. Many lives and public property have been saved. If the government had not taken the precautionary steps, the situation would have been worse.
