About 145 families were shifted to rehabilitation centres from Duvva village, Tanuku mandal, West Godavari district on Tuesday as the Yerrakaluva started to swell.
The low-lying areas in Bhimavaram may get submerged as Yenamadurru and Nandamuru drains were overflowing due to heavy rain in the catchment areas in the Agency in Alluri Sitarama Raju and Eluru districts, said West Godavari Collector P. Prasanthi.
