Severe Cyclone Arnab’s outer band has reached the coast. Landfall expected between 2–4 AM on October 28 near Andhra–Yanam with 125–135 kmph winds. Heavy rain hits Odisha and Andhra. Affected landowners and farmer representatives have demanded clear written assurances on market valuation and fair compensation norms before field surveys or land acquisition proceed. District officials are expected to hold consultations with local stakeholders to resolve the impasse.
