Naidu conducted an aerial survey of the cyclone‑hit districts and personally toured Cheyyeru, Vetlapalem and Gachakayalapora, speaking with displaced farmers and inspecting water‑logged fields.
On X, he revealed the preliminary loss estimate of Rs 4,600 crore could rise after a detailed assessment, and he promised Rs 1,500 compensation for each damaged coconut or oil palm tree.
A teleconference with 32,000 district officials followed, where the CM directed officials to clear fallen trees within two hours, restore power, and ensure food, water and medical supplies at shelters.
Konaseema, hit hardest with 130‑km/h winds, saw more than 10,000 people evacuated to 495 shelters, according to SP Rahul Meena. NDRF and SDRF teams were already deployed before the cyclone, and APSP platoons joined the clearance work.
Naidu will submit a preliminary damage report to the Centre and will keep the state machinery ready for rehabilitation, vowing to restore normalcy swiftly.
