New Delhi: Cyclone Phyan may have missed Mumbai on Wednesday but it has managed to cause considerable damage to the Maharashtra Government.

Post-cyclone damages are being estimated to be well over Rs 100 crore in Maharashtra and Konkan alone.

A major fallout could be a further rise in the prices of vegetables and fish.

Meanwhile, the cyclone has weakened. According to reports, the deep depression over north central Maharashtra has weakened into a depression and is now practically stationary.

For the next 12 hours, the MET Department has predicted rainfall at most places with isolated heavy to very heavy falls over Konkan, central Maharashtra and Marathawada.

Rains are also likely over Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

However, there have been no rains reported in Mumbai since Wednesday evening though the sea is likely to remain rough.

Fishermen have been advised against venturing into sea.
