The ministry said National Disaster Response Force and State Disaster Response Force teams were conducting rescue and relief operations. It did not provide a casualty count, a number of people rescued or a monetary damage estimate, so the announcement does not quantify the scale of losses.

Inter-ministerial central teams were expected to be sent to assess the impact and further assistance required. Their dispatch was described as forthcoming, rather than an assessment already completed. The release concerns the government response and does not specify the cyclone’s wind speed or intensity category.
