The Thiruvananthapuram airport in Kerala will remain closed from 10 am to 6 pm on Friday due to Cyclone Burevi, which has now become a deep depression, ANI reported. Two airports of Tamil Nadu, in Madurai and Thoothukudi, will also be shut, according to NDTV.
“The Deep Depression over Gulf of Mannar close to Ramanathapuram District coast remained practically stationary during past three hours,” the India Meteorological Department said in its 8 am bulletin.
