Heavy downpour in Telangana for the third consecutive day has resulted in the disruption of the normal life of the people. With the heavy rainfall predicted for the next 48 hours in the state, the authorities are on high alert, says the administration. Especially in the northern Telangana districts, the heavy downpour is so huge that several lakes, tanks, and streams received huge inflows and disrupted road connectivity.
The water level in river Godavari increased rapidly at Bhadrachalam and crossed the first warning level of 43 feet. With the heavy inflows, it is expected that the second warning level of 48 feet will be reached by today. It is known that the State Government declared two days’ holidays in the wake of the heavy rainfalls all over the state. Power distribution companies have assured that there will be no disruption in power due to the rains.
Chief Secretary A Shanti Kumari convened a high-level meeting to assess the situation.
