New Delhi, December 5

The cyclonic storm Michaung over South Coastal Andhra Pradesh resulted in heavy rain in parts of the state on Tuesday.

The IMD said towns and villages, including Narsapur, Vijayarai, Bapatla, Mehadrigadda dam and Machilipatnam, received extremely rainfall.

Officials informed Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy that 9,500 rain-hit people were shifted to 211 relief camps across eight districts — Krishna, West Godavari, Konaseema, Kakinada, Bapatla, Tirupati, Prakasam and Nellore. IMD said the impact of cyclone was receding in Tirupati and Nellore. No loss of life has been reported in Andhra Pradesh, though crops have been damaged and electricity supply disrupted in many parts. The rain stopped in Chennai on Tuesday, but most part of the city remained marooned.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
