Surrounded by the floodwaters, thousands of tribal families have been passing days without access to basic amenities and food on both sides of the Godavari river in Eluru and Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR) districts.
The spread of viral fevers in their habitations is adding to their woes.
Thousands of people belonging to the Koya and Konda Reddi tribes, who were severely hit by the flash floods in the Godavari in July, are now homeless and surviving at the mercy of the river that may inundate their habitations anytime again.
