“Sarbanash,” Says Mamata Banerjee From Cyclone Amphan War Room

Kolkata: After Cyclone Amphan left buildings destroyed, power lines and roads damaged and parts of Bengal flooded, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee called it a “catastrophe”. 12 people have died and the count could go up, she said last night at her office in Kolkata, where a control room had been set up to monitor the cyclone.
“Sarbanash hoye galo (it is a catastrophe),” said Mamata Banerjee, calling the impact of Amphan “worse than coronavirus”.

She used the word “tandav (dance of fury)” to describe the impact of the storm, the worst to form over the Bay of Bengal in years.
