The low-pressure system in the eastern central Arabian Sea has intensified. The met office has stated that the system, currently 985 kilometers away from Karachi, could develop into a strong depression within the next 24 hours. If it becomes a cyclone, it will be named Shakti by Sri Lanka.
The system is expected to move northwards towards India, and currently, there is no threat to the Pakistani coastline. The weatherman expects the system to intensify into a strong depression in the next 24 hours due to favorable environmental conditions.
The Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum has appealed to fishermen not to venture into the open sea, citing safety concerns due to high tides. The forum's spokesperson, Kamal Shah, said that fishermen are being continuously informed through radio transmissions to avoid the open sea for the next few days, considering the potential proximity of the system to Karachi and Sindh's coastal areas.
