Non c’è pace per l’India, già martoriata da una devastante ondata di Covid. Si è abbattuto sul Paese il ciclone Tauktae, la più violenta tempesta dal 1998 a oggi. Coinvolti gli Stati del Kerala, Karnataka e Goa. Le violente piogge hanno già ucciso sei persone. Si sta parlando di un ciclone di categoria 3, con raffiche di vento fino a 200 km/h, fomatosi sul Mar Arabico. Diverse abitazioni sono state distrutte dalla furia della tempesta e l’elettricità è stata interrotta in diversi distretti degli Stati interessati. Anche Mumbai, metropoli di 12 milioni di abitanti, sarà interessata dalla tempesta. Molti cittadini sono stati allontanati dalle case per raggiungere rifugi comuni, suscitando nuove preoccupazioni sulla diffusione del contagio.
