One man died of a heart attack in one of several thousand shelters that have been set up.

"The winds outside right now must be around 200km/h," he said by phone from Odisha state capital Bhubaneswar. Another witness said he saw a small car being pushed along a street by the winds and then turned over. "We are bracing for the worst on Saturday when the cyclone is forecast to batter the city of Kolkata," said Bhattacharya.
Measures were also being taken to protect the 850-year-old Jagannath temple in Puri, a Hindu holy town normally thronging with pilgrims.
