With heavy rains lashing Nellore district on Monday, several areas in the district were affected due to incessant continuous downpour for over 20 days. While no casualties were reported, the weather update reveals that the heavy rains are due to the low pressure over the Bay of Bengal.
Several villages in Balayapalli, Gudur, Jaladanki, Kavali and Kondapuram mandals have submerged with floods in the low-lying colonies due to incessant rains since the early hours and the Mansoor Nagar and Khuddus Nagar residents are on the edge following the flood waters entering their colonies again.
With the roads, bridges overflowing with floods, connectivity to several villages has been cut off. Kaivalya, Kalangi and Penna Swarnamukhi rivers, streams are over flowing at several places resulting in 12 villages in Kavali mandal and 20 villages in Gudur mandal getting completely submerged.
Owing to the continuous rains, the district administration has raised concerns over the danger of tanks breaching again since the majority of the tanks are already filled up. Reviewing the situation, District collector M Janaki and joint collector Md Intiaz put the the field-level officials on high alert and directed them to evacuate people to relief centres if the situation turns worse.
Prakasam district administration too alerted the villagers in the Rallapadu project vicinity to stay alert and be ready to move if the water levels hit the danger mark. Nearly 6,000 cusecs downstream was let out by the irrigation officials after the water level touched 19 ft with the reservoir level being of 17 ft.
