Detailed Solution

The above is not true.
The Indian peninsula is bounded by the Arabian Sea to its west, the Indian Ocean to the south, and the Bay of Bengal to the east. The low-pressure region over land areas results in the formation of strong winds blowing towards the coasts. These winds are heavily moisture-laden and cause torrential rainfall. The eye or centre of these cyclones is in the oceans from where alternating rainy and dry spells originate. Tropical cyclones found between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer affect the Indian coast.
The correct statement should be that the coastal states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh are most affected by the destructive effects of the cyclones since they are the first to experience them.
