Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has scheduled an aerial survey of the heavily rain-affected regions of Warangal and Husnabad for Friday, October 31, 2025. This critical inspection aims to gather direct information on the damage caused by the incessant rains, which lashed various parts of the state under the influence of Cyclone Montha.
The planned aerial visit for Thursday had to be postponed due to unfavorable weather. During a video conference with senior officials and District Collectors on Thursday, the Chief Minister noted that the Meteorological department had predicted the cyclone’s impact across 16 districts. Despite proactive government measures to minimize losses, the unexpected intensity of Cyclone Montha has caused significant hardship, especially for farmers.
Highlighting that it is currently the harvesting season, the Chief Minister stressed the importance of officials remaining highly vigilant and continuously monitoring the situation. He instructed District Collectors to cancel all official and staff leaves, deploying them for immediate field duties. Furthermore, he directed Energy department officials to ensure an uninterrupted power supply, even amidst strong gales.
The Chief Minister also issued directives for officials to advise residents against unnecessary travel, urging them to only venture out for emergencies. He mandated the establishment of medical camps in affected areas and instructed traffic diversions for damaged bridges and causeways. Officials were also advised to leverage the services of HYDRAA whenever additional support was required.
A round-the-clock monitoring system is to be implemented, with Ministers coordinating closely with District Collectors and local administration to streamline relief operations. Collectors are expected to keep their respective in-charge Ministers updated on the evolving situation, ensuring timely alerts are issued to local communities to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Finally, Irrigation department officials were tasked with continuously measuring water inflows and outflows from various projects. This measure is crucial to implement preventative actions, thereby safeguarding lives, properties, and standing crops from further damage.
