A cyclone landfall process is underway between Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh and Yanam in Puducherry, triggering heavy rainfall and gusty winds across eastern coastal states including West Bengal, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu. Uprooted trees have blocked national highways and damaged several vehicles, with visuals showing destruction in Visakhapatnam and Odisha’s Ganjam. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is monitoring live updates as low-lying areas are evacuated and disaster response teams deployed. The storm is projected to weaken as it advances towards Telangana.
