On the evening of May 24, 2026, Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) officials quickly responded to the aftermath of a brief rainstorm that brought strong winds and caused significant disruption in the city. The storm recorded 6.5 mm of rain, with wind speeds reaching 32 km/h, leading to the uprooting of small trees, hoardings, and banners. In response, VMC deployed both municipal vehicles and private earth movers to clear the affected roads efficiently. Many areas experienced power outages due to the strong winds, which lasted for nearly 30 minutes. To mitigate the impact of waterlogging, officials from the engineering and sanitation departments conducted field inspections and took immediate action, focusing on main roads, low-lying areas, and busy traffic junctions. Special machinery was utilized to remove stagnant water and ensure smooth traffic flow. VMC Commissioner Dhyana Chandra H.M. monitored the situation closely, instructing officials to remain vigilant and respond promptly to any complaints from the public.
