It's official. The deep depression has intensified into a cyclonic storm - Nivar - over southwest Bay of Bengal.

The Tamil Nadu government has rolled out many precautionary measures which included suspension of bus services in 7 districts - Pudukottai, Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, Cuddalore, Villupuram and Chengalpattu from 1 p.m., on Tuesday until further orders. The government has appealed to the people in these districts not to go out on November 24 and 25 as there are chances of fall of trees.  The people should act as per the weather instructions given by the authorities through battery-operated radios. 

If it takes the predicted path, Nivar will hit Delta districts hard. The IMD has sounded red alert in Ariyalur, Mayiladuthurai, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Cuddalore, Villupuram, Tiruvannamalai, Kallakurichi and Perambalur.
