The National Disaster Response Force says the worst damage from Cyclone Arnab is in northern Andhra Pradesh and southern Odisha.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has identified northern Andhra Pradesh and southern Odisha as the regions bearing the brunt of Cyclone Arnab. According to the agency, these areas have experienced the most severe impact in terms of wind damage, flooding and disruption of basic services.
Local authorities in both states have activated emergency response teams and are coordinating with NDRF units to conduct rescue operations, provide relief supplies and restore essential infrastructure. The force has also warned residents in the affected districts to remain vigilant as the cyclone continues to move inland.
The NDRF’s assessment comes as meteorological agencies track the cyclone’s weakening trajectory, but the aftereffects are expected to linger, requiring sustained relief efforts over the coming days.
