Pahang MB files affidavit backing Najib’s bid to serve jail sentence from home, claims told of Agong’s decree from Tengku ZafrulStrong gales and heavy rain brought by cyclone Remal lashed the coastlines of India and Bangladesh today, killing at least four people and cutting electricity supply to millions before losing intensity.
“We have had no electricity since night, my mobile battery will run out anytime,” said Rahat Raja, a resident of Bangladesh’s coastal district of Satkhira. “By Allah’s grace, the cyclone was not as violent as we thought.”Nearly 3 million people in Bangladesh were without electricity, officials of its power ministry said.
It began making landfall in India at about 9pm, a process that ran for about five hours, weather officials added, before weakening into a cyclone during Monday morning. High tides breached some protective river embankments in the area, home to some of the world’s largest mangrove forests, which is shared by India and Bangladesh.
