                        Cyclone Kills 8 in Eastern India

   by VOA News

   Relief crews are working across eastern India after a powerful cyclone
   brought heavy rain and wind to the region and left at least eight
   people dead.

   The remnants of Cyclone Hudhud continued dropping rain on inland areas
   Monday, a day after making landfall at the port city of Visakhapatnam
   with winds up to 195 kilometers per hour.

   The storm knocked down trees and power lines and ripped the roofs off
   homes in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa states where authorities evacuated
   nearly 400,000 people ahead of the storm.

   Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to visit the area Tuesday.
