THE continuous rainfall since Saturday night has caused widespread disruption across the north coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, including Visakhapatnam, Anakapalle, Alluri Sitarama Raju and erstwhile Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts.
The downpour has led to overflowing water streams, landslides in hilly areas, road blockages, drainage overflows, and severe flooding in low-lying areas.
