Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh enter the cyclone warning map in this report, as the threat described by forecasters extends beyond India's battered eastern coastline.

India's Hindi-language news channel New Delhi Television (NDTV) India pairs those inland rain alerts with footage of waves washing across coastal roads in Chennai, damaged roads and waterlogged neighborhoods in Andhra Pradesh, and nighttime rescues in Puducherry. Vehicles struggle through the water as the broadcast traces Cyclone Arnab's effects along the Bay of Bengal coast.

In the October 29 bulletin, meteorologist Gayatri Vani says the severe cyclonic storm has made landfall between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, a southeastern state facing the bay. Anchor Syed Suhail uses a timeline graphic to explain the storm's projected movement and impacts through October 30.

The emergency response is already spread across several jurisdictions. S. S. Sudan, a senior officer with the National Disaster Response Force, says 39 teams have been deployed across different states and the union territory of Puducherry. Footage shows officials and police issuing evacuation warnings along coastlines in West Bengal and Puri, Odisha.

Suhail then details rain forecasts, weather alerts and government preparations in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The alerts referenced in the title come from the India Meteorological Department, the national weather agency.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai warns of strong winds and rain while outlining preparations in Bastar and nearby areas. The bulletin ends on the coast again: reporter Rithik Mandal shows uprooted trees and ongoing rescue efforts from Gopalpur, Odisha.
