Amit Shah, the Union home minister, has postponed going to Telangana on June 15 due to the cyclone.
The intended public meeting of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Khammam on June 15th has been postponed, Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay said on Wednesday. "Owing to severe cyclonic conditions in the West Coast, especially in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, the meeting stands postponed," he said.
