DHAKA, May 27 ― Strong winds and heavy rain pounded the coastal regions of Bangladesh and India as severe cyclone Remal made landfall late yesterday, leaving millions without electricity after power poles fell and some trees were uprooted by gusty winds.

One person was killed in the major metropolitan city of Kolkata when concrete chunks fell on him during the peak of the storm, police said. Roofs of thatched huts were blown away while mud houses were flattened in the coastal areas of both countries as authorities waited to ascertain the full scale of losses.

While early warnings and timely evacuations helped both countries avert major casualties from the storm, there was a heavy toll on power infrastructure. Reports of at least 356 uprooted electricity poles and damage to scores of transformers were received during the first hour of the landfall process, Arup Biswas, the minister for power in West Bengal government, said.
