Over 30,000 hectares of crops damaged by Murasu cyclone in Andhra Pradesh

What's behind this

Cyclone Murasu brought heavy rain that inundated low‑lying areas in Eluru district, prompting the collector to order evacuations. Trees were uprooted and roads waterlogged across several mandals, while officials monitored river levels, schools and power lines as rescue teams responded. The system crossed the Andhra coast early Tuesday, weakened into a cyclonic storm with wind speeds up to 90 kmph, and moved north‑northwest at about 7‑8 kmph. The IMD noted that extremely heavy rainfall remains likely in isolated places in the state.
