The Meteorological Centre, Bhubaneswar informed that a cyclonic circulation is likely to form over South Andaman Sea and the neighborhood around May 4. Under the influence, a Low-Pressure Area is likely to form over the same region around May 6 which is likely to become more marked during the subsequent 24 hours.

According to the reports, different weather models have predicted that the low-pressure may intensify into a cyclone and cross the Odisha-West Bengal coast around May 10.

However, IMD has not yet predicted the probable path of the cyclone and its landfall. The weather department has expected that a clear picture of the movement of the possible cyclone will be known by May 7.

Further the report added that in case the cyclone circulation heads towards Odisha, districts like Kendrapara, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Balasore, Mayurbhanj and Keonjhar is likely to be affected.

Further the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) held a meeting involving its various wings and other agencies to discuss its preparedness for a possible cyclone over the Bay of Bengal based on the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast. The BMC has tweeted that it has 72 cyclone shelters and officials will remain present to manage the situation.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
