Land depression over W Bengal moves westward


The land depression over West Bengal and adjoining areas moved westward and was lying over Bihar and adjoining areas yesterday noon.

It was likely to move in a northwesterly direction further in land.

"Steep pressure gradient persists over north Bay and squally weather may continue over the ports," said a special bulletin of the Met Office.

Maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar and Mongla have been advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal number three.

All fishing boats and trawlers over the north Bay have been advised to remain in shelter until further notice.
