Narendra Modi to visit Visakha soon
X
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Visakhapatnam on Tuesday to estimate the damaged caused due to Cyclone Hudhud. He is also closely monitoring the rescue and relief operations since Saturday. He has been constantly in touch with AP Government and given assurance that Centre would extend help in every possible manner.

Over 4 lakh people have been evacuated in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. The wind speed which was around 200 kmph resulted in vast damage in Visakhapatnam.

Chandrababu Naidu appealed Narendra Modi to declare Cyclone Hudhud as natural disaster and release Rs 2,000 crore funds immediately for relief works. He maintained estimating the actual damage caused by Hudhud would take few days.

AP Government is expecting sanction of funds from Centre soon after Modi's Visakha tour.
