ISTANBUL: Sri Lanka and parts of India ordered school closures on Tuesday (Oct 27) due to adverse weather conditions, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
All schools across Sri Lanka were closed as a precautionary measure due to the prevailing adverse weather conditions, according to local news outlet Ada Derana.
India's eastern coastal states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh have also ordered schools to close ahead of Cyclone Arnab's expected landfall on Wednesday, according to the Press Trust of India.
Other precautions include a ban on sea fishing and keeping rescue teams on standby to ensure safety.
The administration of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands also ordered school closures for two days starting on Tuesday, according to India Today.
India's Meteorological Department said that a deep depression over the east-central and south-eastern Bay of Bengal had moved westwards and intensified into Cyclone Arnab.
The storm is expected to cross the Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coasts between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam by Wednesday morning as a very severe cyclonic storm. - Bernama-Anadolu
