Heavy rains lashed several parts of Andhra Pradesh’s south coastal and Rayalaseema districts early Saturday after cyclonic storm Mandous made landfall off the coast of Mamallapuram in neighbouring Tamil Nadu.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister, met with officials concerned about the cyclone-related rains.
He directed SPSR Nellore, Tirupati, Chittoor, and Annamayya collectors to be on high alert and to set up relief camps wherever there is a need.
Mr Reddy also directed officials to ensure that no one ventured out in areas where heavy rains were expected.
The state government relocated 190 people to 28 relief camps in the Tirupati district as a precautionary measure.
According to a government report, the SPSR Nellore and Tirupati districts have been placed on alert due to the possibility of flash floods in the minor rivers Kandaleru, Maneru, and Swarnamuki.
