- Fourteen specialized National Disaster Response Force teams have been deployed to vulnerable zones in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has swiftly mobilized and positioned 14 specialized teams across vulnerable districts in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to tackle the impending fury of Cyclone Murasu. Operating under high-alert protocols, the federal disaster agency has strategically placed its personnel to execute rapid evacuations, administer critical rescue operations, and manage immediate relief distribution as the severe weather system bears down on the southeastern coastline.
This urgent deployment comes in direct response to severe weather forecasts indicating heavy downpours, violent gales, and potential widespread flooding across coastal and interior zones. Both states have a historical vulnerability to tropical depressions originating from the Bay of Bengal, making early intervention critical to preventing loss of life and minimizing infrastructure damage during severe cyclonic events.
According to reports by The Hindu, the commanding officer of the NDRF's 10th Battalion confirmed that all deployed units are fully equipped with modern rescue gear, communication arrays, and medical kits. Local administration and disaster management cells are working in tandem with the federal units to ensure seamless coordination and constant monitoring of the storm's trajectory.
