Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw reviewed the railway’s preparedness for Cyclone Montha, directing the ministry to take precautionary measures, and asked three zones to mobilise resources for emergency response.

“The minister has asked East Coast, South Coast and South Central zones to mobilise resources for emergency response and take necessary precautions,” a senior railway official said.

An official note said that the railway minister discussed the key action points such as activation of divisional war rooms, readying essential materials, machinery, and manpower, especially in Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Guntur divisions, along with monitoring train operations to minimise passenger inconvenience.
