Due to the Murasu cyclone formed in the Bay of Bengal, strong winds are blowing in the coastal areas of North Tamil Nadu, including Chennai. Because of this, the sea is rough.
Giant waves are rising higher than usual along the coast and crashing rapidly toward the shore.
As a result, police have warned that the public should not enter the sea to bathe or swim in coastal areas including Marina, Pattinapakkam, and Besant Nagar.
People should also avoid standing near the areas where waves crash onto the shore to watch. Parents should not allow their children to go near the sea and play.
They have also said that people should not go into dangerous areas to take photos or selfies. Police and lifeguards engaged in safety duties in coastal areas continue to warn the public.
Chennai Police Commissioner Amalraj has advised the public to avoid unnecessary trips to the beach amid strong winds. He also said that in emergencies, if police assistance is needed, people can contact the 100 helpline number.
Due to Cyclone Murasu, the services of a total of 11 flights in Chennai were canceled, including the departure of 5 flights and the arrival of 6 flights.
