As of October 25, the cyclone killed 11 in 7 districts, but has since last night, weakened. How do cyclones form and what are they? If you are wondering, here's what to know:
Cyclone Sitrang has turned into a depression weakening further while heading towards India's Meghalaya-Tripura through Brahmanbaria-Sylhet region.
