KARACHI: The Nilofar cyclone on Tuesday intensified as it reached at 1100 kilometer distance from Karachi. A ban has been placed on visiting sea sights and fishing until November 2nd.
The Nilofar cyclone emerged on October 25th as result of low air pressure in the Arabian Sea which intensified on October 26th and 27th.
Cyclone intensified at the speed of 160-185 kilometer per hour on Wednesday which triggered warning and further safety measures.
Nilofar’s intensity is being anticipated to reach 175 to 200 kilometer per hour on October 29.
