A day after the severe cyclone Michaung made landfall close to the Bapatla coast, normal life is gradually being restored as people were seen coming out of their houses on Wednesday.
The roads which were seen deserted for the last two days were now teeming with the locals purchasing vegetables, groceries and women fetching water in the colonies. Fishermen returned to the backwaters of Upputeru at Adavi village, where the boats were anchored, local women were seen selling fish caught in the backwaters.
“There was no fishing activity in the sea for the last three days, however, we caught some fish today in the backwaters. There was a heavy demand for fresh fish in Adavi village,” says Suramma, a fisherman.
