Heavy rains have been lashing the Indian and Pakistani coasts after the severe Cyclone Biparjoy made its landfall on Thursday, Reuters reports.
More than 180,000 people were evacuated in the two countries in the past few days.
In India, two people died in Gujarat, the western coastal state of India, due to the rain-caused floods just before the cyclone hit, and at least 23 residents were injured, according to local reports.
Gujarat faced serious waterlogging amid heavy rain, and about 500 house roofs were blown off and 800 trees were knocked down in the past two days, leaving thousands of homes without power, said the country's National Disaster Response Force on Friday.
In Kutch district of Gujarat, two roads had to be closed and a total of 100 trains were canceled to avoid traffic incidents and injuries.
"I'm in Kutch when Cyclone Biparjoy made landfall in Gujarat on June 15. Strong winds and heavy rainfall caused casualties, power cuts and property damage in some areas," said a local, Rajeev Parmar.
India's meteorological department warned that though Biparjoy weakened to the equivalent of a tropical storm on Friday, heavy rains will continue on Saturday in the worst-hit Gujarat and its neighboring Rajasthan.
The coast of Pakistan's Sindh Province experienced strong winds, sandstorms and thundershowers for a short time, and low-lying roads in some coastal areas were flooded.
Pakistan's Meteorological Department said Pakistani coasts were largely safe as the outer reaches of the cyclone bypassed the expected landfall in the country, although there are still risks.
The local government of Sindh said on Friday that life is expected to gradually return to normal beginning from Saturday, and public facilities such as schools will be reopened.
