​Visakhapatnam: While the cyclonic storm Kyant is predicted to manifest its presence along the coasts of Andhra Pradesh from Thursday, the Eastern Naval Command has assumed high degree of readiness to render necessary humanitarian assistance in case of casualties.
Four Indian Naval ships are standing by to proceed to the most-affected areas to undertake Humanitarian Aid Distress Relief (HADR), evacuation, logistics support, including providing medical aid.
These ships embarked with additional divers, doctors, inflatable rubber boats, integral helicopters and relief materials that include food, tentage, clothes, medicines and blankets, enough to sustain over 5,000 people, a release said on Wednesday.
