· India · The Hindu, LiveMint
Special Chief Secretary for Energy K. Vijayanand directed power utilities in Andhra Pradesh to implement foolproof precautionary measures ahead of Cyclone Murasu. Officials were instructed to stockpile essential materials such as poles, conductors, and transformers, and to position machinery and manpower in vulnerable areas. The India Meteorological Department forecasted that the depression over the Bay of Bengal would intensify into Cyclone Murasu and cross the coast near Bapatla. South and central coastal districts are expected to experience moderate to heavy rainfall alongside strong winds.
Why it matters
Early mobilization of power infrastructure and emergency response teams protects critical electricity grids and minimizes prolonged outages for residents in cyclone-prone districts.
