Hands-on in Vizag, Chandrababu Naidu is working out of a bus

Chandrababu Naidu has slept little since Sunday, say his aides. That’s when Cyclone HudHud, named for a bird, swooped into Andhra Pradesh, its ferocious winds exacting the sort of destruction that will take years and enormous amounts of money to over-write. At least 20 people were killed in Andhra Pradesh, which elected Mr Naidu to office in May. “The extent of the damage…you cannot visualize, imagine, assess it,” said Mr Naidu to NDTV in the bus that he has turned into his office since he arrived in Visakhapatnam on Monday. The port city, known as Vizag, was slammed the hardest by the cyclone, whose portfolio of winds included some that raged at nearly 200 km per hour.
