Amid the heavy rainfalls across Telangana, the Godavari river water level crossed the danger mark in the Bhadrachalam town of Bhadradri Kothagudem district.
According to sources, an area is seen submerged in the floodwaters of the swollen Godavari River in the temple town of Bhadrachalam. The water level in the Godavari river in Bhadrachalam stands at 56 ft, and water is likely to increase to 60 ft.
Officials added that relief operations are being undertaken in the villages here and all district officials are on high alert. The Bhadrachalam Revenue District Official (RDO) Ms. Madhavi said, “Yesterday night at around 8:40 PM we issued a third warning level. Today, the Godavari water level reached 56 feet at 10:00 PM. We are prepared to overcome the situation even if the Godavari flow comes up to 60 feet. Due to the overflowing water of SRSB, the Godavari level is rising slowly. We have already arranged rehabilitation centers, NDRF teams, and sectoral offices and all are coordinating with Panchayati Raj, Irrigation and others.”
Furthermore, all departments are coordinating and are set to face and overcome any situation.
Meanwhile, the Indian Meteorological Department issued an alert of heavy to very heavy rainfall for the Telugu State of Telangana, in coming days.
