The Hindu
It is a do-or-die situation for residents of some submerging villages under Mallannasagar reservoir. Pressure is mounting on them to vacate their homes so that bund construction work can progress faster and Godavari water from Kaleswaram can be released into the 50 tmcft-capacity reservoir that is nearing completion.
For the past three days, Etigaddakishtapur and Pallepahad villages have been witnessing heavy presence of police personnel and residents, especially women and the elderly, are feeling the pressure.
