Sunday leaves for Collectorate staff were ordered cancelled as the IMD issued warnings over the Severe Cyclonic Storm Shakthi currently situated more than 500 km off the coastline. All districts were keeping a close watch over the developing situation even as the predictions say Shakthi is likely to due out at sea without making landfall in Gujarat. As a precaution, we have cancelled all headquarters leaves on Sunday and asked everyone to remain on standby. We issued the fishermen warning earlier today and this warning will hold till October 7. We have alerted all the fishermen not to venture into the sea.
