Pabuk, a deep depression that made a landfall in Thailand on Friday, may reach the Andaman Sea on 5 January. The Alipore Meteorological department office has accordingly alerted fishermen not to venture into the sea from 5 to 7 January.
An IMD official said, “Kolkata and its surroundings are expected not to be affected by the depression. Near the Andamans, heavy rainfall is expected during that period due to the depression.”
