As many as 13 villages, including 10 in Dummugudem mandal and three in Charla mandal, are facing flood threat with the Godavari river and its tributaries in spate in Telangana’s Bhadradri Kothagudem district.
The river continued to flow above the second flood warning level of 48 feet at Bhadrachalam following copious inflows from the upstream reservoirs, mainly the Taliperu project. The water level in the river in the temple town hovered around 49.70 feet at 8 p.m. on Monday.
