‘What prevented the IMD from issuing bulletins at regular intervals during Cyclone Gulab?’
The ‘failure’ of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to update the bulletins from time to time during Cyclone Gulab has drawn flak from a retired meteorologist. He has sent a letter through email to the Director General of IMD Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, wondering what prevented the IMD from issuing bulletins at regular intervals.
The retired Meteorologist T. Krishna Bhagavanudu of Visakhapatnam noted in his letter that the official website of IMD, New Delhi, had issued the ‘All India Weather Summary and Forecast Bulletin’ at 8.45 p.m. on Sunday. The next bulletin of IMD was issued at 8.45 a.m. on Monday. This was 12 hours after the crossing of Cyclone Gulab, the previous night.
