Andhra Pradesh is on high alert as Cyclone Murasu approaches the coast, with meteorological forecasts indicating a landfall on November 3. This development marks a significant weather challenge for the state, which has already faced a major cyclonic disturbance in the preceding days.
The arrival of Murasu within a week of the previous system has intensified relief and rehabilitation efforts. Authorities are focusing on reinforcing coastal infrastructure and ensuring that evacuation centers are fully operational to handle any potential surge in displaced residents.
Local administration teams are coordinating with disaster management units to monitor the cyclone's trajectory closely. The priority remains on safeguarding lives in vulnerable coastal districts, where strong winds and heavy rainfall are expected to accompany the landfall.
