Chief Secretary camping at Srikakulam and monitoring situation
The Uddanam region of Srikakulam district that bore the brunt of several cyclones, including Titli which left a trail of destruction in October 2018, is once again expected to be at the receiving end when Cyclone Yaas may likely cross the coast between West Bengal and Odisha on Wednesday evening.
The region, comprising Itchapuram, Sompeta, Mandasa, Palasa and Vajrapukotturu mandals, is known for the best coconut and cashew grooves that provide livelihood to more than 6.2 lakh people directly and indirectly. Farms and other properties worth about ₹80 crore were damaged by Titli cyclone which proved to be more destructive than Laila, Phailin and Hud-Hud cyclones. Palasa cashew industry took a severe blow and many processing units in the town shut down.
