<p>At least 10 people died in Bangladesh.</p>
<p>About 3.7 million people along the coast were affected, said Bangladesh’s junior minister for disaster management and relief, Mohibbur Rahman M.</p>
<p>More than 35,000 homes were destroyed, and nearly 115,000 were damaged. Nearly 800,000 people were evacuated from vulnerable areas on Sunday.</p>
<p>Bangladesh, a nation of nearly 170 million people, has a history of violent natural disasters.</p>
<p>Disaster preparedness programmes have upgraded the capacity to tackle natural disasters, resulting in fewer casualties. Changing climate patterns have increased storms’ intensity, making preparations more urgent.</p>

<p>Remal weakened after making landfall in Bangladesh’s Patuakhali district early on Monday, with sustained winds of 111 kilometres (69 miles) per hour.</p>
<p>India’s Meteorological Department said the weather was likely to weaken throughout the day but warned of heavy showers over Assam and other north-eastern states for the next two days.</p>
<p>India’s Kolkata airport reopened after being shut on Sunday. Bangladesh shut down the airport in the country’s second-largest city, Chattogram, and cancelled all domestic flights to and from the coastal district of Cox’s Bazar. Loading and unloading at Chittagong seaport was halted.</p>
<p>Heavy rain and winds battered the Bangladesh capital, Dhaka. Many roads were submerged. Authorities ordered all government officials to stay at their stations until the situation improved.</p>
<p>Aid agencies said they deployed thousands of volunteers in Rohingya refugee camps and other affected areas to provide emergency support. Bangladesh has sprawling camps housing more than 1 million Rohingya refugees from Myanmar in Cox’s Bazar.</p>
<p>In India’s West Bengal state, thatched roofs on houses were blown away, and electric poles and trees were uprooted in some coastal districts. Heavy downpours inundated streets and homes in low-lying areas of Kolkata. All schools in the region were closed until further notice.</p>
