What happened
CM Naidu visited cyclone-hit areas, including Guntur and Bapatla, to inspect damage caused by Cyclone Murasu. Preliminary estimates place the state's losses at around Rs 1,918.5 crore. Officials reported damage to 760 km of major district roads and state highways, while farmers in Bapatla reported that their crops were damaged just before harvest.
Why it matters
The severe damage to infrastructure, including roads and power distribution, requires significant government funding for restoration. The state government is seeking central aid to manage the losses. Restoration of damaged rural roads is estimated to cost Rs 92 crore.
CM Naidu briefed Amit Shah on the cyclone damage, which led the state government to seek central aid for losses in Andhra Pradesh.
