Heavy monsoon rains have pushed the Godavari River into a dangerous spate, compelling Andhra Pradesh authorities to suspend marine fishing activities and close schools in affected areas as a safety precaution. Local officials issued immediate flood warnings, urging communities near the riverbanks—and fishermen in particular—to stay away from the water’s edge and avoid venturing into fast-flowing river channels or coastal waters.
The decision comes amid rising concerns about flash flooding, which poses severe risks to coastal and riverside residents. The river’s swift surge has significantly elevated the danger level, disrupting daily life, including school operations, and stressing rescue and relief preparedness. Authorities continue to monitor water levels closely and have mobilized response teams to ensure public safety.
Residents are advised to stay tuned for government safety advisories and avoid unnecessary travel during this period of heightened risk. The suspension of marine fishing—and temporary school closures—reflect a proactive approach to managing the monsoon’s severe impacts and protecting vulnerable populations across Andhra Pradesh.
