Visakhapatnam, October 28, 2025 (ABN) – Authorities in Andhra Pradesh are urging residents in nine coastal districts to remain vigilant as Severe Cyclone Montha is expected to make landfall Tuesday night. Special Chief Secretary Ajay Jain, the special officer for the nine districts, emphasized the crucial importance of the next 12 hours during a press conference held Tuesday night with MP M.

The cyclone is expected to impact areas from Srikakulam to Konaseema, with Kakinada, Konaseema, Eluru, and West Godavari districts anticipated to bear the brunt of the storm. Jain urged people to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary.

He assured the public that the administration is on high alert to minimize potential loss of life and property. Quick Response Teams have been deployed in the GVMC area, and efforts are underway to clear fallen branches and drainage systems.
