AP, Odisha brace for Cyclone Montha

Cyclone Montha is intensifying in the Bay of Bengal, prompting coastal states of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha to prepare for landfall by late Tuesday. Authorities are evacuating vulnerable populations, closing schools, and issuing advisories as gale-force winds of 90-110 kmph are anticipated. Eight Odisha districts have been designated ‘red zones’ expecting severe impact.
