According to an IMD bulletin issued Saturday morning, minor damage to loose/unsecured structures is likely. “People are advised to keep a watch on the weather for worsening conditions and be ready to move to safer places accordingly,” it said.
Parts of the state including the city outskirts witnessed light rains with lightning and gusty winds on Friday evening. This gathered momentum early Saturday.
