Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit cyclone-hit Visakhapatnam Tuesday to take stock of the situation, an official said Monday.
"Have been constantly taking updates on Cyclone Hudhud. Spoke to AP (Andhra Pradesh) CM (Chief Minister). Will visit Visakhapatnam tomorrow & take stock of the situation," Modi tweeted.
