Two days after cyclone Hudhud battered the coast, residents of Visakhapatnam continue to live in darkness. Communication networks are down too.

To add to their woes, there is acute shortage of drinking water, milk and other essential commodities.

Andhra Pradesh and Odisha have been severely hit, despite thousands of people finding solace in storm shelters and relief camps.

Here are some photos that bring out the plight of those who are recuperating from the damage that Hudhud wrecked upon them.
