Officials instructed to assess the losses
The heavy rain and flash floods triggered by Cyclone Gulab have damaged standing crops including paddy, groundnut, banana, custard apple, lemon trees in more than 1 lakh acres in Vizianagaram and Srikakualm districts.
The government has asked the agriculture officers and village agriculture assistants to take up the enumeration exercise to assess the damage.
Agriculture Deputy Director (Vizianagaram) S.B.S. Nandh said that the water stagnation in fields was a major concern in the aftermath of the cyclone.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
