The officials are taking concerted measures and are also issuing warnings to various sectors. The APEPDCL has issued orders to various branches alerting them to take all the precautionary measures. The shift-operators have been alerted and the substations have been provided with diesel generators. They have even advised that the citizens must be well equipped with all the safety measures in order to face any possible after-effects of the rains.

Incidentally, it was during this period in 2014 that Visakhapatnam’s most catastrophic cyclone, HudHud, struck its shores causing a wide scale damage.
