In a major development in Telangana, the Godavari River at Bhadrachalam has crossed the 43‑foot mark, triggering a first‑level flood warning. The rise in water levels has caused several riverside villages to be cut off, with several mandals and tribal habitations facing disrupted road connectivity. District flood‑duty officers are fully mobilised, and local authorities are coordinating relief and rescue operations in affected areas.
Authorities report that heavy rains upstream and increased inflows from catchment areas have contributed to the swelling of the Godavari. Forecasts indicate potential further rise in water levels, raising the risk of escalating to higher warning thresholds if conditions persist.
Villagers in low‑lying and flood‑prone zones are being urged to evacuate or move to safer ground. Transportation links to several interior villages are blocked, complicating relief efforts. Rescue agencies like SDRF, police, and local disaster management teams have been placed on alert. With more rainfall expected, authorities warn residents to stay vigilant, avoid river banks, and follow local advisories.
