Murasu skirts Chennai, heads toward South Andhra coast
In short
IMD said Murasu came within about 200 km of the Chennai coast over the sea and then moved away from the city. It is now headed toward the South Andhra coast.
Ports are still under warning. The report does not say how strong the storm is, when it will land, or what damage may happen.
What the reporting says

Why it matters

The update suggests Chennai may avoid the worst of the system, while ports remain on alert. The report does not give the storm’s strength, exact path, or timing, so the final impact is still unclear.
