VISAKHAPATNAM: Cyclone Asani claimed three lives in the state and

damaged horticulture and paddy crops in thousands of acres. A member
of mandal parishad territorial constituency, identified as Tummala Kasulu
(40), was killed when a Palmyra tree fell on him while he was going to
Upparapalli village in Anakapalle district on his bike.

On Wednesday, 43-year-old K Srinivasa Rao was killed after a portion of

his house collapsed on him due to heavy rain at Kamanagaruvu village in
Amalapuram mandal of Konaseema district, while the third person was
killed when he was struck by lightning at Jaladanki in Nellore district.

Officials said heavy rains and squally winds damaged mango, banana,
turmeric, maize and papaya crops in thousands of acres in Kadapa, Kurnool, Prakasam, Krishna and West Godavari districts.
Meanwhile, light to moderate rains accompanied by squally winds continued in parts of Rayalaseema region and coastal AP on
Thursday even as cyclonic storm Asani weakened into a low-pressure area after crossing the coast between Machilipatnam
and Narsapur on Wednesday evening.
