He also said that it will be very rough in the deep seas and asked to suspend all types of small boats and fishing operations in the southeast and central Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea until Sunday.

A deep depression has developed over the southeast Bay of Bengal as a result of the depression moving west-northwestward. IMD predicts that the system will most likely move northwestward before turning north-northwestward and gradually strengthening into a cyclonic storm over the same area this evening.
