New Delhi: Cyclone Amphan, one of the worst storms over the Bay of Bengal in years, has killed 12 people in West Bengal. The powerful cyclone destroyed thousands of homes, leaving authorities struggling to mount relief efforts amid the coronavirus crisis. Bengal took the brunt of Cyclone Amphan, which barreled into the coast with gusting winds of up to 185 km per hour.
