Control room set up to tackle flood exigency
As the water level in the Godavari and its tributaries, including Taliperu, continued to rise all along the river course in the district steadily owing to relentless rainfall in the river’s upper reaches, the district administration has set up a control room to tackle any flood exigency. The move was necessitated in the wake of the unabated intermittent heavy showers in most parts of the district and the forecast of heavy rains in the next two days, sources said. The 24x7 control room at the Collectorate in Kothagudem will facilitate swift response to deal with any flood event and address rain-related issues with an inter-departmental approach.More Related News
