Visakhapatnam: Heavy rains pounded various parts of Andhra Pradesh on Sunday, particularly the north coastal districts, due to an embedded cyclonic circulation over the North Bay of Bengal coupled with the intensifying of northeast monsoon.
Several bridges in the Agency areas in north coastal Andhra Pradesh were said to have been washed away, cutting access to villages. The downpour brought normal life to a halt in Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and Vizianagaram districts. Hill streams were in full flow in Paderu, Araku, Pedabayalu and Munchingput mandals, and were flowing over some low level bridges.
While Visakhapatnam received 15 cm rainfall on Sunday, Anakapalli (Visakhapatnam), Tuni (East Godavari) and Denkada (Vizianagaram) registered more than 9 cm rainfall in the last 24 hours.
