Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (November 4, 2026) morning spoke to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu over the telephone to review the impact of Cyclones Arnab and Murasu, which hit the state within a week, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said in a post on X.

Mr. Naidu briefed the Prime Minister on the damage caused by the two cyclones, particularly in the affected areas. He said heavy rainfall and strong winds had caused extensive losses to farmers, besides damaging roads, electricity infrastructure and other sectors.

ప్రధాని శ్రీ నరేంద్ర మోడీ నేటి ఉదయం ముఖ్యమంత్రి శ్రీ నారా చంద్రబాబునాయుడుకు ఫోన్ చేశారు. వారం రోజుల వ్యవధిలో ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ రాష్ట్రానికి రెండు తుఫాన్ల తాకిడి నేపథ్యంలో ప్రభావిత ప్రాంతాల్లో పరిస్థితిని అడిగి తెలుసుకున్నారు. తుఫాన్ల వల్ల జరిగిన నష్టాన్ని సీఎం ప్రధానికి వివరించారు. వివిధ రంగాలకు పెద్ద ఎత్తున నష్టం జరిగిందని, ఈ మేరకు కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం రాష్ట్రానికి తగిన సాయం అందించాలని విజ్ఞప్తి చేశారు. తుఫాన్ సహయక చర్యల్లో రాష్ట్ర ప్రభుత్వం బాగా పని చేసిందని ప్రధాని అభిప్రాయపడ్డారు. నిరంతర అప్రమత్తతతో తుఫాన్ వల్ల వచ్చిన ఇబ్బందులను సమర్ధవంతంగా అధిగమించారంటూ సీఎంను ప్రధాని ప్రశంసించారు. @narendramodi @PMOIndia @ncbn #CycloneArnab #CycloneMurasu #AndhraPradesh

The Chief Minister urged the Centre to extend adequate assistance to the State to deal with the damage.

Mr. Modi appreciated the State government’s handling of the cyclone-related situation and praised Mr. Naidu for remaining alert and ensuring that the difficulties caused by the storms were addressed effectively, the CMO said.

Mr. Naidu has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking ₹4,563 crore as immediate relief for the damage caused by Cyclone Arnab. The State’s preliminary assessment puts the damage from Cyclone Murasu at ₹343 crore.
