Severity will be more this year because of closure of coffer dam, they fear
Many tribal families have trekked up the hilly areas and erected temporary sheds to protect themselves from rising floods and backwaters in the Godavari. Flood water has entered several habitations due to incessant rain in the catchment areas. The Koya and Konda Reddy tribal families have urged the government to make arrangements to shift them to R&R Colonies as the flood water is rising by the day. The severity of flood will be more this year due to complete closure of the coffer dam, they fear.
