Cyclone Murasu has issued red alerts for two districts in Telangana and orange alerts for three additional districts as of November 3, according to The Hindu.
Cyclone Murasu, a low‑pressure system moving from the Bay of Bengal, has prompted the Indian Meteorological Department to issue a red alert for two districts in Telangana and an orange alert for three more districts as of November 3.
The red alert, the highest level of warning, signals that the affected areas may experience heavy rainfall, strong winds and the risk of flooding. Residents in the red‑alert districts are advised to secure property, avoid travel and stay informed through local media.
The orange alert, a step below red, indicates that the districts should prepare for possible heavy rain and wind, and that authorities are monitoring the situation closely. State officials have urged people to check evacuation routes and to keep emergency supplies ready.
Meteorologists say the cyclone is expected to intensify as it moves inland, and the government has activated disaster‑management teams to respond to any sudden changes in the storm’s path.
Citizens in the affected districts are urged to heed official instructions and to stay updated via the state’s emergency alert system.
