Like Tudu, hundreds of people have been evacuated from coastal and low-lying areas in the district and moved to cyclone and flood centres for safety. Those who have sought refuge in these shelters remember how Amphan left behind a trail of devastation in south Bengal. More than 100 people died in the cyclonic storm. For the evacuees, the situation has not changed much. Even as another cyclone comes knocking, they are still praying for the safety of their family members amid a raging pandemic and a statewide lockdown, and hoping that their properties do not get damaged in the storm.

“It feels like yesterday. It was in the month of May last year that I lost my livelihood due to lockdown and my house due to cyclone Amphan. This year, it is happening again. This time, the chances of contracting the Covid-19 infection are higher compared to last year,” says 55-year-old Klaipeda Hembra, a migrant laborer.
