Saurashtra bears brunt as Tauktae pounds into Gujarat

Cyclone Tauktae barrelled dangerously into Covid-battered Gujarat after making landfall near the Union Territory of Diu late Monday, packing ferocious winds and pounding rain that kept alive fears of severe destruction in the coastal districts of Saurashtra. Tauktae's landfall began around 8.45pm and continued till late into the night, according to IMD’s specialised cyclone centre.
