AP CM Chandrababu Naidu cancelled all his previous schedules to celebrate this Vijayadasami festival season with his family members and he decided to stay back in Srikakulam district to spearhead cyclone relief activities.

Following this, his ministerial colleagues have also left for Srikakulam to join the relief and rehabilitation efforts. It may be recalled Srikakulam faced lot of damages and destruction in the recent Titli cyclone recently.

From Srikakulam itself, Naidu extended his festival greetings to the people of the state. Actors Balakrishna, Jr NTR and others have made considerable contributions to relief works going on in the district now.

Meanwhile, elaborate security arrangements were taken for CM and Ministers’ visits. Maoists in Andhra Orissa Border have released a letter warning of serious consequences and accusing TDP leaders of trying to promote mining activities in agency areas.

The letter supposedly released by Galikonda dalam leader Gopi said that Naidu was trying to come back to power in 2019 by spreading lies among the people. TDP leaders and their relatives were bent upon exploiting resources in tribal areas, the letter said. It objected to ongoing combings in agency and called upon tribals to repel TDP leaders.

Meanwhile, as usual, rumours spread in social media about another cyclone going to hit Srikakulam. This has come as an alarming news among people there. But meteorology department officials removed any chance of another cyclone immediately.

Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan is touring in cyclone-hit areas in Srikakulam currently. He said the people here have suffered greatly because of recent cyclone and he gave a call to all Telugus to extend help to the victims. He deplored that Srikakulam people’s problems were not getting immediate attention of the world.
