A deep depression over the Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify into a cyclonic storm named “Remal” by this afternoon, according to meteorologists. The storm is likely to gather strength and turn into a severe cyclone before making landfall, potentially hitting the Khepupara-Sundarbans and West Bengal areas.
