[00:01:38] Overnight, its forces pounded the city with air strikes and tank fire, residents

[00:01:53] being children, women and the elderly.

[00:02:10] Weather authorities said the powerful cyclone had weakened into a depression after devastating

[00:02:24] Harsh weather was hampering efforts on Tuesday to rescue at least seven people trapped

[00:02:37] The Gujarat police have arrested one more partner of the Rajkot-based TRP Gamesone

[00:04:01] South and central districts like Tiruvanthapuram, Kollam, Kottayam and Arunakulam
[00:04:05] mainly bore the brunt of the continuous downpour which caused water logging,
[00:04:09] damage to houses, uprooting of trees, overflow of tiny water bodies,
[00:04:12] cutting across towns and villages.
[00:04:15] With the rain getting intense, the Indian Meteorological Department placed
