Vishakhapatnam Coast

Eastern Naval Command (ENC) at Vishakhapatnam, and the Indian Coast Guard, will jointly take up a coastal clean-up drive to mark the 30th International Coastal Cleanup Day to be observed across the world tomorrow.

Cyclone Hudhud would cross North Andhra Pradesh coast on October 12 and is expected to make a landfall close to Visakhapatnam, according to Cyclone Warning Centre (CWC) at Visakhapatnam.

In the ninth mishap involving Indian Navy's warships in the last seven months, an amphibious vessel was damaged when it ran aground off the coast of Vishakhapatnam.

Protests have intensified in Vijayawada in central Andhra Pradesh. Highways NH 5 and NH 9 have come to a stand-still. Vehicles had been blocked on the arterial highway that connects Chennai, and other important locations on the southeast coast such as Srikakulam, Vishakhapatnam, all the way to Kolkata in West Bengal.

A fire broke out late on Thursday at state-run refiner Hindustan Petroleum Corp Limited's Visakhapatnam refinery on the east coast, said officials at the unit.

The south Andhra and north Tamil Nadu coast is facing the threat of a cyclone later in the week with a cyclonic storm formation in the Bay of Bengal likely to intensify and hit the coast between Tamil Nadu and Andhra on December 30, the weather office said on Tuesday.
