  "account": "Repair work on the cyclone-damaged road leading to Alluri Sitarama Raju international airport began on Friday evening, as sections of the Trumpet interexchange were found severely affected by the cyclone's impact. Known as Cyclone Arnab, the storm caused some parts of the road to collapse, prompting concerns from air travelers who had previously raised safety issues over the route. Vizianagaram Collector, S. Ramsundar Reddy, had alerted GMR authorities to the damage, emphasizing that many VIPs frequently use the road. The collector urged the executives to investigate the cause of the damage, which occurred just three months after the airport's inauguration. Under government pressure, contractors stepped in to perform temporary repairs, promising to restore the road promptly.",
