Severe Cyclonic Storm Michaung struck Andhra Pradesh, causing extensive damage and disrupting normalcy. Officials report the destruction of standing crops on thousands of acres, with uprooted trees and electric poles hampering relief efforts. Bapatla district alone sees the deployment of 50 special teams for cyclone relief workers. Over 1,350 people in Bapatla have been relocated to 27 relief camps. District Collector P Ranjit Bhasha instructs officials to assess the severe impact in 111 villages. Coastal areas, including Suryalanka and Guntur, still witness rough seas with 2-meter-high waves.
