Cyclone Phet brings rains to Gujarat
June 7th, 2010 - 9:21 pm ICT by IANSGandhinagar, June 7 (IANS) Cyclone Phet, which spared Gujarat, has nevertheless brought rains across the state from Sunday night, officials said Monday.
The cyclone, after weakening into a depression, ensured rains all along the coastline through most of Sunday, continuing through the night into Monday. Moderate rainfall was reported in Kutch, Junagadh, Bhavnagar, and Amreli.
Even the interior areas of the state were not spared the impact of the cyclone with winds and rain reported from Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Rajkot and Surat Sunday night and Monday morning.
Though the cyclonic threat has receded, the administration has lowered its guard but continues to be on stand-by. According to Kutch district collector M.Thenarasan, the situation is being monitored. All manpower and equipment will remain in place until the cyclone fully and truly passes over, he added.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the State Reserve Police (SRP) contingents will remain in place for some more time, state government officials said here.
