People residing within 500 metres from the coastal belt from Kuchchaweli to Jaffna are being evacuated due to the possible threat of a minor cyclone, which said to enter the country from the Mullaitivu coast around 2 am tomorrow, officials said.

A spokesman for the Disaster Management Centre said the evacuation process began a short while ago with the help of the police, military and respective government officials in these areas.
