Ten crest gates of the Nagarjunasagar project were lifted on Friday, as the project’s capacity neared the maximum levels with flood from the upstream Srisailam project.
The project was already brimming just short of the full reservoir level of 590 feet, and officials operated the gates in the early hours.
With storage of about 312 tmc full capacity at around 8 a.m., an outflow of 1.33 lakh cusecs was maintained as the inflowing stream was over 2.10 lakh cusecs.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
