Cyclone Arnab has caused extensive flooding, uprooted trees and seawater intrusion into homes, leaving residents in distress.
Cyclone Arnab made landfall in the coastal belt, triggering widespread damage across several districts. Roads that once served as major arteries are now submerged under several feet of water, disrupting transportation and emergency response efforts.
The storm’s powerful winds uprooted numerous trees, leaving large debris fields and blocking key thoroughfares. Residents report that the force of the cyclone was strong enough to dislodge mature palms and other vegetation.
In many affected households, seawater has seeped into living spaces, contaminating drinking supplies and damaging personal property. Local authorities have begun water‑purification drives and are distributing bottled water to the most vulnerable communities.
The state disaster management office has deployed rescue teams and set up temporary shelters. Officials urge residents to stay away from flooded areas and to follow instructions from local authorities as cleanup and relief operations continue.
