Nearly 800,000 people in India's eastern coastal districts have been evacuated in the face of a major cyclone packing winds of up to 200 kilometres an hour, officials said on Thursday, as reported by Aljazeera

Tropical Cyclone Fani, brewing in the Bay of Bengal some 450km offshore and moving westwards, is expected to make landfall on Friday afternoon near the Hindu holy town of Puri.

Some 1,000 shelters have been set up in schools and government buildings to accommodate more than a million people.
