Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy held a review meeting on Cyclone Montha’s impact and told all departments to stay on high alert. He asked officials to take steps to protect farmers, crops, and the public from losses caused by the heavy rain.

CM focuses on crop safety

Revanth Reddy said the state was in the middle of the paddy harvest and warned that rain could spoil stored grain. So, he told agricultural teams to cover paddy and cotton at purchase centres. He also asked departments to work together to prevent damage to crops and property.

The Chief Minister said the cyclone hit Khammam, Warangal, and Nalgonda districts hardest. Meanwhile, Hyderabad and nearby areas were also seeing heavy rain. He told officials and field workers to stay alert until the situation improved.

Relief teams told to act fast

Revanth Reddy reviewed train disruptions at Dornakal and Gundathimadugu, where Golkonda and Konark Express trains had stopped. He told South Central Railway to arrange help for stranded passengers.

He ordered district collectors to deploy SDRF and NDRF teams in all affected places. In Hyderabad, he told GHMC, Hydera, SDRF, and Fire Services teams to respond quickly to public calls for help.

Officials told to move people to safety

The Chief Minister said local officials must move families from low-lying areas to safer shelters. In addition, irrigation officers should check water levels in lakes and reservoirs and share updates with collectors. He added that sandbags should be kept ready at full reservoirs.

Police and revenue staff must close causeways and low bridges covered by floodwater. Furthermore, he told sanitation teams to clear water and waste to stop disease spread.

Health and coordination plans

Revanth Reddy told the Health Department to keep enough medicines ready and open medical camps when needed. He said departments such as Revenue, Electricity, Panchayat Raj, R&B, Police, Fire, and SDRF must work together to reduce damage. “Our top priority is to save lives and prevent loss of property or cattle,” the Chief Minister said.
