Cyclone Hudhud: Navy partly restores communication lines

The Hindu  

The Navy on Monday morning launched a P8-I long range maritime reconnaissance aircraft from INS Rajali at Arakkonam morning to gauge the magnitude of damage caused by the cyclone Hudhud in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Naval assets would be deployed for rescue and relief operations on the basis of the assessment, said a Navy spokesperson. The Navy was able to get the two runways at naval air station Dega fit to conduct flying operations on Monday morning itself. Only the Maritime Operations Centre in Vizag had a communication link with Delhi, as BSNL lines, naval satellite Rukmani and INMARSAT were all down.
