Cyclone Arnab Causes Severe Flooding and Livelihood Damage in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh
Cyclone Arnab caused unprecedented rainfall and flooding in Odisha's Ganjam district and parts of Andhra Pradesh, severely impacting communities and agriculture. Odisha officials cite extreme weather as the primary cause, while opposition leaders and former officials criticize reservoir management and disaster preparedness. The government has provided relief measures and deployed ministers to affected areas. In Andhra Pradesh, twin cyclones Arnab and Murasu devastated coastal livelihoods, uprooting thousands of coconut trees and damaging paddy fields, with recovery expected to take years.
