Cyclone kills 54 in Bangladesh, India DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) A severe cyclone battered low-lying coastal areas of southern Bangladesh and eastern India, killing at least 54 people, injuring dozens and razing hundreds of mud huts, officials and news reports said today. The casualty toll was expected to rise after reports arrived from hundreds of tiny islands and remote villages cut off after communication lines snapped during Tuesday's storm. "The casualty figure will go for sure when we have full details of the calamity," said Food Minister Sardar Amjad Hossain.

But Hossain added: "Many lives were saved this time because of large-scale evacuation of people from danger to safety zones. With the improvement of communications systems it was easy to move many people in a short time." At least 13 people died when the cyclone lashed Calcutta and coastal areas of West Bengal state in eastern India, the United News India news agency said. In Bangladesh, a boat caught in the storm on the river Teesta capsized near Bhairab, 45 miles northeast of Dhaka, and 20 of the 24 passengers were swept away and killed, an official said. Abdul Muqtadir Ahmed, Deputy Commissioner for Khulna district in southwest Bangladesh, one of the areas hardest hit, said at least 21 people died there. Khulna district is about 110 miles southwest of Dhaka.

He said nine people died when an electric power pole fell over a house in Khulna. Another nine people died when a house collapsed near Mongla port, near Khulna, Ahmed said. At least three others were killed in house collapses in the district. Andrew McBay He was born Sept. 2, 1945, in Newhope a son of Charles and Vella (Wilkins) McBay.
