Fix It, Now: Warning to Telecom Providers in Vizag from Chief Minister

 

VISAKHAPATNAM:  Phone connections and power remain un-restored in Visakhapatnam, hit hardest by Cyclone Hudhud, and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has asked officials to work round the clock to get these services up and running.

He warned that executives of telecom service providers must ensure restoration of connectivity soon and was quoted by news agency IANS as saying, "I have asked the police to arrest them and bring them to the meetings to review the situation."

"People are in distress. These companies have to come to their rescue. They can't just make profits when people are happy and desert them when they are in trouble," he reportedly added, pointing out that the lack of connectivity is a serious impediment to relief operations.

At least 20 people have died in Andhra Pradesh, whose coast was battered by Cyclone Hudhud which came tearing down on Sunday morning with winds peaking at nearly 200 kilometres per hour.  

Visakhapatnam or Vizag as it is known, which is home to two million people and a large naval base, was punished the hardest by the cyclone.

The vast damage is to be reviewed today by Prime MinisterNarendra Modi who will fly over the city accompanied by the Chief Minister, who has been based in Vizag since Monday to supervise the huge effort needed to help the city back to its feet.

Mr Naidu has said he expects officials to brief him by evening of the measures taken to restore telecom services and explain the reasons for the delay in repairing the towers that were damaged in the cyclone.

Following are the latest developments:
  1. Visakhapatnam or Vizag, was hit worst by the cyclone. Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, who has been supervising rescue and relief operations in this key port town, is accompanying the PM on his aerial tour.
  2. After landing, PM Modi inspected the damage caused by Sunday's cyclone to the airport, which is shut for repairs. Apart from other damage inside the building, the roof was airport was blown off by the powerful cyclone which land with wind speed of about 200 kmph. Flight operations are unlikely for a week.
  3. Mr Naidu has ordered officials to work round the clock to ensure that power and phone services are restored soon in Vizag. "I have asked the police to arrest them and bring them to the meetings to review the situation," he told news agency IANS.
  4. Mr Modi will also hold a review meeting at the office of the Vizag district collector. Mr Naidu had earlier written to Mr Modi requesting that the Centre declare the cyclone a national calamity and provide Rs.2,000 crore as interim relief.
  5. Vizag resembled a war zone after the cyclone hit, with about 80 per cent of its trees uprooted, massive hoardings torn apart and statues felled. Roads were cleared by Monday evening and the national highway to Vijayawada was opened. Rail operations may begin today after the tracks are repaired.
  6. There are long queues at petrol pumps though the authorities have announced that they have fuel supplies to last 15 days and so there is no need to panic or hoard.
  7. The Chandrababu Naidu government in Andhra Pradesh has formed five special teams to look after health, restoration, relief, power and sanitation in the cyclone-hit districts of Visakhapatnam, Vijayanagaram and Srikakulam.
  8. The rural areas of Andhra Pradesh, including Srikakulam, have suffered huge crop damage.
  9. In Odisha, power supply has been restored in the four worst-hit districts. The government says the main worry now is flooding due to constant rains.
  10. Over 5 lakh people were evacuated in both states. But with many people losing their homes, cyclone relief centres will continue to run for now.
