In a hands-on inspection of the aftermath of Cyclone Montha, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan visited Kodur village in the Krishna District on Thursday to assess the widespread damage inflicted on standing crops by strong winds and heavy rainfall. The visit underscores the state government’s heightened focus on alleviating farmers’ distress.
Kalyan interacted with many farmers whose paddy fields suffered severe damage from Cyclone Montha. They spoke about flattened crops, flooded lands, and the heavy financial losses they now face. Many expressed concern about how they would manage the next planting season. Kalyan assured farmers that the government will act quickly to provide relief through crop-compensation packages and seed-input support.
He declared, “No affected farmer will go without help,” and instructed officials to speed up the assessment and payment process. Kalyan also sent out special teams across the district to collect damage data and start claim settlements, showing a sense of urgency and clear direction. The state government’s proactive approach comes amid mounting pressure to ensure agrarian stability in the cyclone’s wake.
His visit reflected solidarity with farmers and reinforced the government’s commitment to their recovery. Kodur and nearby villages have begun the tough journey back to normalcy. The farming community now waits to see how quickly and efficiently relief measures will reach them.
