At least four bodies were on Saturday found on the shore of the Arabian sea in Gujarat's Valsad district which the police suspect could be some of the missing victims of the barge P 305 that had sunk off the Mumbai coast in cyclone Tauktae on Monday,

As many as 13 people were killed in Gujarat as cyclone Tauktae pummelled parts of the state and left behind a trail of destruction along the coast, uprooting electric poles, trees and damaging thousands of houses and roads, officials said today.

Three people were killed in Gujarat as Cyclone Tauktae made landfall at 8.30 pm with 190 km per hour gusts that damaged houses and trees and forced people to flee. Six people were killed in Maharashtra as the storm swept past Mumbai on Monday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Gujarat and Diu on Wednesday to personally review the situation there and the damage wrought by cyclone Tauktae.

The Indian Navy has rescued 146people on board a barge that went adrift in the Arabia Sea near Mumbai hours before a very severe cyclonic storm with winds gusting up to 185 km per hour made landfall on the Gujarat coast, an official said on Tuesday.

"Extremely severe" Cyclone Tauktae unleashed devastating winds that reached speeds up to 190 kilometres per hour as the storm made landfall in Gujarat, damaging structures, electricity lines, and uprooting trees.

Two barges with 410 people on board have gone adrift off the Mumbai coast as the cyclonic storm "Tauktae" over the Arabian Sea intensified into a very severe cyclonic storm and is expected to reach Gujarat coast this evening, officials said.

Cyclone Tauktae, which has now intensified into an "extremely severe cyclonic storm", is likely to reach Gujarat coast by Monday evening and cross the state coast between 8 pm and 11 pm, the IMD said.

Cyclone Tauktae - an 'extremely severe cyclonic storm' - is "very likely" to make landfall in Gujarat's Bhavnagar between 10 and 11 pm, with winds up to 165 km per hour. At 2.30 pm it was 165 km west-northwest of Mumbai and moving at 15 km per hour.

Cyclone Tauktae - which intensified into a 'extremely severe cyclonic storm' early this morning - has made landfall in Gujarat, as heavy rains and strong winds battered the region.

Cyclone Tauktae will intensify further, the weather office has said, as the "very severe" storm hurtled towards Gujarat, leaving behind a trail of destruction. It will make landfall between Porbandar and Mahuva on Tuesday, unleashing rapid wind.

With Cyclone Tauktae fast approaching the Gujarat coast, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) on Sunday said that all fishing boats, except 18 in Maharashtra and one in Gujarat, have reached their harbours or taken shelter at nearby ports.

Cyclone Tauktae is likely to intensify into a "severe cyclonic storm" within six hours, and may hit the Gujarat coast by Tuesday, the weather office has warned.
