Cyclone Biparjoy: Union Minister Parshottam Rupala escapes tidal wave at Dwarka temple

Parshottam Rupala has been camping in the coastal area for the last two days and monitoring the on-going evacuation and relief work being carried out by the government agencies in the wake of the Cyclone Biparjoy.

Video of the incident also showed that Parshottam Rupala gave an interview to media persons at the sea coast where tidal waves could be seen.

The Union government had on Thursday issued an advisory for the safety of mediapersons too.

“From the perspective of the safety and security of the various reporters, cameramen and other personnel of various media organizations, especially private TV channels, it is strongly advised that media organizations may undertake abundant precaution and due care in the matter of deployment of their personnel in the areas likely to be affected and follow the precautions being issued by local the administration. And under no circumstances take decisions for deployment of such personnel in a way which may compromise the safety and security of the media personnel,’’ the advisory said.

The state is bracing for cyclone ‘Biparjoy’ which is likely to landfall on Kutch coast on Thursday evening. Over 97000 people have been moved to safer places across the state as precautionary measures.
