India's weather department has said a depression over the Bay of Bengal is expected to turn into a severe cyclonic storm by Thursday evening.

A recent project involved mapping part of the Sundarbans, a vast area of mangrove forests where the waters of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers spill into the Bay of Bengal.

The port, along the Bay of Bengal, would give industries in and beyond Ruili access to the Indian Ocean and then global markets.

Cyclone Remal has been moving across the Bay of Bengal over the past few days, allowing authorities in both countries to prepare for its arrival.

Remal was the first cyclone in the Bay of Bengal ahead of this year’s monsoon season, which runs from June to September.
