The Chief Minister highlighted losses to crops and property in several districts and sought adequate central assistance for rehabilitation and recovery.
Naidu thanked Shah for deputing a central team to assess the damage caused by Cyclone Arnab.
The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, meanwhile, expressed gratitude to Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and the people of Karnataka for extending assistance to the state.
