He directed the Civil Supplies Department to maintain close communication with district collectors and provide timely guidance regarding paddy procurement. “Grain collection must remain a top priority,” the Chief Minister stressed, instructing that each procurement centre be assigned a special officer at the mandal level to oversee operations efficiently.

The Chief Minister further instructed each district collector and superintendent of police to jointly establish a dedicated monitoring centre to coordinate emergency and relief activities. He called for real-time updates on damaged roads to facilitate smooth traffic movement and urged officials to send detailed reports to the government on the extent of damage to crops, infrastructure, and public property.
Revanth Reddy also highlighted the importance of closely watching the condition of tanks, streams, irrigation projects, and culverts, particularly those at lower levels. He advised officials to alert residents living in vulnerable areas well in advance.
“All departments must work in close coordination and with a unified approach to tackle the situation effectively,” the Chief Minister said, underlining that proactive measures and teamwork were essential to safeguard lives and property during the cyclone’s aftermath.
