Telangana lifts red alert from two districts as Cyclone Murasu weakens

Cyclone Murasu prompted Telangana to revoke red alert status from two districts on November 3, marking an easing of the severe weather threat in those areas. The withdrawal came as the cyclonic system showed signs of weakening after crossing the state.

However, authorities maintained heightened vigilance in three other districts—Suryapet, Khammam, and Bhadradri—which remained under red alert. These districts continued to experience significant rainfall and gusty winds as the cyclone's outer bands persisted over the region.

The red alert signifies an extremely dangerous situation where residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid all non-essential movement. Officials had earlier issued the alert across multiple districts as the cyclone approached, with evacuation operations conducted in vulnerable areas.

Meteorology officials continued to monitor Cyclone Murasu's movement and intensity. Telangana disaster management authorities coordinated response operations across affected districts, with rescue teams positioned in areas still under alert to respond to any emergencies.
