Amphan Alert On Shortwave

Bangladesh Betar On Shortwave On 4750kHz:
This morning i.e.May 20th(2020), I heard Bangladesh Betar Domestic Service Relay on shortwave on its usual frequency of 4750kHz during aircheck around 0217 to 0225utc approx.I heard back to back songs in Bengali without music by a lady & then followed by a male voice and then Amphan cyclone alert weather bulletin in Bengali by a lady.The signal was heard with hum as it happens regularly.
Usually this transmission becomes on air from afternoon but in case of weather emergency like cyclone it is activated to air cyclone alert.I heard atleast twice such weather alert bulletin on air from Bangladesh Betar Domestic Service.
Here is the audio recorded of Bangladesh Betar on 4750kHz around 0223utc:
