This is due to a low-pressure area forming over the east central Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea, which is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm by October 23. The system is predicted to reach the Odisha-West Bengal coasts by October 24, leading to rough to very rough sea conditions. The IMD has also advised fishermen to return to shore by October 21 to avoid potential hazards.
In a recent article, Harsh Mander compares the current political climate in India to the dark days of Nazi Germany in 1935.

Mander raises important questions about the consequences of this shift in political allegiance and the potential impact on the country.
