Water Level Up In The Godavari

With all the tributaries of the Godavari, including Indravati in the upper reaches of the river in spate, the water level in Godavari crossed 50 feet (two feet above the second flood warning level) and inched closer to the danger mark (third flood warning level) of 53 feet in Bhadrachalam on Sunday night.

The river crossed the first warning level of 43 feet at about 12.30 a.m. and second warning level of 48 feet at 12 noon on Sunday.

Road connectivity to several remote habitations in the tribal hinterland of Bhadrachalam Agency was hit following flooding of low-level culverts at Turubaka, Kudunuru and Jodichelakala areas in Charla and other Agency mandals, sources said.
