Bhatti Vikramarka, to secure assistance after severe weather knocked down over 16,000 electric poles. TGSPDCL and TGNPDCL dispatched staff alongside emergency response vehicles, battery-powered tree pruners, and restoration materials across districts including Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam, and Guntur.
