Maritime ports asked to lower signal as deep depression weakens

Maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla and Payra have been advised to lower signal as the deep depression over Odisha-Jarkhand and adjoining area moved west-northwestwards further, weakened into a depression.

It was centered at 3:00pm on Tuesday over Chhattisgarh and adjoining area.

It is likely to move in a northwesterly direction further and weaken gradually, said a Met office bulletin.

Squally weather is unlikely over North Bay and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.

All fishing boats and trawlers over North Bay and deep sea have been advised to proceed with caution till Wednesday tomorrow.
