Severe cyclonic storm Hudhud had battered north Andhra coast last month killing 46 people, damaging 9,000 houses and crops over more than two lakh hectares.
The cyclone with a wind speed of nearly 200 kmph left a trail of destruction in Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and Vijayanagaram districts, uprooting thousands of trees and damaged electricity and communication networks.
