Cyclone Montha disrupts Telangana and Andhra Pradesh; relief efforts underway.

Heavy rains resulting from Cyclone Montha have caused significant disruptions across parts of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, leading to the stranding of several trains and the inundation of low-lying areas. In Mahabubabad district, the Golconda Express and Krishna Express were halted due to submerged tracks, prompting Superintendent of Police Sudhir Ramnath Kekan to oversee relief efforts personally. Passengers received essential supplies while arrangements were made for their onward travel by bus. Concurrently, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu reported two fatalities linked to the cyclone and urged government officials to ramp up relief efforts in affected areas. He emphasized the importance of restoring normalcy swiftly, highlighting that while minimal damage occurred to houses and livestock, agricultural damage was noted in districts like Nellore and Prakasam. The Chief Minister’s proactive measures, including the mobilization of 10,000 personnel for power restoration and the establishment of relief camps for 180,000 people, reflect significant government preparedness and responsiveness in light of such natural calamities. This situation underscores the importance of effective disaster management strategies in minimizing loss and enhancing resilience against climate-induced challenges in India.
