NTR district officials told to gear up to mitigate cyclone damage

Vijayawada woke up to a cloudy sky on December 4 (Monday) as Michaung, which turned into a severe cyclonic storm by noon, triggered wet spell in the city.

While light rain continued through out the day across the city, India Meteorological Department has predicted that NTR district will record very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall on Tuesday, when the severe cyclone is going to make a landfall between Nellore and Machilipatnam. Vijayawada Central recorded the highest of 12 mm rain until 4 p.m. on Monday.

A notification from the IMD on Monday morning gave red alert to NTR district.
