Road link to Andhra-Telangana cut off as Kattaleru stream overflows on road
The Hindu
Heavy rainfall occurred in border villages.
Road communication to Khammam and Madhira towns in Telangana has been cut-off as Kattaleru Vaagu (stream) was overflowing on the road at Inagadapa village on Wednesday. The stream was in spate for the last two days and was flowing from the main road at Thotamula and Inagadapa villages since Tuesday night, said Tiruvuru CI M. Chandrashekar. With incessant rainfall occurring in the border villages for the last couple of days, many rivulets and streams were in spate. Rain water entered into the houses in some low lying areas.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
