Cyclone Remal wreaks havoc: Over 40 dead in India's northeast and Bangladesh
Cyclone Remal
Cyclone Remal, which made landfall in Bangladesh earlier this week, brought devastation to northeastern India, particularly Mizoram. Heavy rains and thunderstorms caused at least 37 deaths across the region, several people missing.
Many homes were destroyed, power lines knocked down, and hundreds forced to flee to relief camps.
Mizoram suffers the most damage
The deadly cyclone has claimed the lives of 27 people in the Melthum, Hlimen, Falkawn and Salem Veng areas of Mizoram's capital Aizwal, the state government said on Tuesday (May 28).
The bodies of 27 people have been recovered so far by the relief teams, with the death toll likely to rise as rescue operations continue in the city.
