District Collector Badavath Santhosh has been diligently overseeing the cyclone’s potential impact on the region since morning, issuing vital directives to various departments.

Mr. Santhosh instructed officials to distribute tarpaulin sheets to farmers and ensure they are well-informed about the cyclone’s expected effects. He also urged the immediate unloading of agricultural produce transported from procurement centers to mills. Furthermore, a stern warning was issued to fishers, advising them against venturing into rivers, lakes, ponds, canals, and reservoirs for any activity, as significant flooding is anticipated over the next 72 hours due to the relentless rainfall.
