The Godavari River at Bhadrachalam hit 48 feet at 9:00 AM today, surpassing the second warning level. The river flows strongly, causing officials to stay on high alert.
Upstream at Peruru, the water level dropped by two feet. This decrease suggests that less water might flow toward Bhadrachalam soon. Authorities are hopeful that the worst of the flood is over, and Bhadrachalam’s water levels may start to lower gradually.
An official from the irrigation department mentioned that although the river remains above the danger mark, there’s a positive trend upstream. If this continues, the water level is expected to fall within a day or so.
Residents in low-lying areas are urged to stay vigilant and adhere to safety guidelines, even though the situation seems to be improving. Rescue and relief teams are ready to respond if needed.
People should avoid going close to the riverbanks and keep up with official updates. The district administration is monitoring the situation closely and will provide additional advisories as required.
