Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday ordered the immediate evacuation of residents from coastal areas to rehabilitation centres as Cyclone Montha intensified after making landfall along the state’s coast over the Bay of Bengal. During a review with district collectors and disaster management authorities, Naidu instructed officials to ensure zero loss of life, facilitate swift relocation from vulnerable zones, and maintain round-the-clock coordination for rescue, relief, and restoration operations.
