BAPATLA — Torrential downpours driven by Severe Cyclonic Storm Murasu battered several regions of Andhra Pradesh on Friday, unleashing relentless rainfall that has triggered high-priority flash flood alerts across vulnerable low-lying zones.
The ongoing severe weather stems from the lingering tempest, which has refused to lose momentum upon approaching the coastline. The atmospheric disturbance has concentrated heavy moisture over the eastern seaboard, creating hazardous conditions for residents and disrupting normal life across multiple municipal and rural jurisdictions.
According to reports by The Hindu, the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) has issued dire warnings regarding escalating precipitation levels. Officials indicate that districts including Polavaram, Kakinada, NTR, Krishna, Bapatla, and Palnadu face the brunt of the tempest, prompting local administrations to mobilize emergency relief operations and preposition disaster response personnel.
