The meteorological department has issued a cyclone warning for several districts across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, urging residents to stay alert and follow safety guidelines.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has raised a cyclone alert for a number of districts in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The warning follows the formation of a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal that is expected to intensify as it moves northward.
Authorities have advised people in the affected districts to secure loose objects, avoid non-essential travel, and stay tuned to local broadcasts for real-time updates. Emergency response teams are on standby to assist with evacuations and relief operations if the system strengthens further.
The IMD has also forecasted heavy rainfall and strong winds in the warned areas over the next 24 to 48 hours, which could lead to localized flooding and disruption of power supplies. Residents are urged to keep emergency kits ready and follow instructions from local officials.
The cyclone watch remains in effect until the system either weakens or moves away from the coastline, at which point the department will issue a final advisory.
