First Published: 28th November, 2024 8:43 IST
The ICG said that its ships, aircraft and radar stations issued advisories for fishing boats to return to the harbour.
As a deep depression in the southwest Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a cyclone and move towards Tamil Nadu, IndiGo Airlines informed its passengers that flight services will continue to be impacted to and from Chennai, Tuticorin, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli and Salem.
“#6ETravelAdvisory: The weather conditions remain largely unchanged and continue to be unfavourable, with flights to/from #Chennai, #Tuticorin, #Madurai, #Tiruchirappalli & #Salem still impacted,” the airline posted on X on Wednesday.
“Stay updated on your flight status via https://bit.ly/3DNYJqj. It’s always better to be prepared to ensure smooth travels,” it added.
In light of worsening weather, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) has started coordinating with Tamil Nadu state agencies to ensure the safety of seafarers, as a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify into a cyclone and move towards the state.
The ICG said that its ships, aircraft and radar stations issued advisories for fishing boats to return to the harbour.

“The deep depression over Southwest Bay of Bengal moved slowly north-northwestwards with a speed of 3 kmph during past 6 hours and lay centred at 1730 hours IST of today, the 27th November 2024 over the same region near latitude 8.9°N and longitude 82.1°E, about 100 km east-northeast of Trincomalee, 320 km southeast of Nagappattinam, 420 km southeast of Puducherry and 500 km south-southeast of Chennai,” the IMD said.
