Cyclone Montha continues to disrupt life across Andhra Pradesh, bringing heavy rains and strong winds to several coastal districts. The state government remains on high alert and is closely monitoring the evolving situation as the storm nears landfall.
Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan held a review meeting with senior officials to assess the cyclone’s impact. He received updates from district collectors of Konaseema, Krishna, Bapatla, Prakasam, Nellore, and Tirupati, where heavy rainfall and gusty winds have caused widespread damage.
Kalyan directed officials to restore electricity in areas where power lines and poles were damaged by fallen trees. He urged residents to stay indoors and move to safer shelters, stressing that even though the cyclone is weakening, heavy rains still pose risks. The Deputy CM also instructed officials to ensure proper food and shelter for people in rehabilitation centres.
He further warned of rising water levels in the Gundlakamma River in Prakasam and the Penna River in Nellore. After rainfall subsides, Kalyan emphasized immediate sanitation and clean drinking water measures to prevent post-cyclone health issues.
