Officials conducting grama sabhas and appealing to people to shift to safer places
Tribal people in the Agency area are in constant fear due to rise in the flood level in the Godavari. The flood level at the crest at Polavaram, which was 25 feet on Friday, crossed 26 feet on Saturday. As the backwaters had overflowed from the Kothuru causeway a few days ago, the officials raised the height of the causeway. The water level at the causeway now was about 20 feet, the residents said.More Related News
