The first Godavari flood warning was withdrawn at Bhadrachalam on Saturday.
The floodwater level at Bhadrachalam was 39.80 feet by evening, which brought a sigh of relief to the tribal habitations in Eluru and Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR) districts.
However, it may take a few more days for the tribal people to return to their habitations and clean up their houses that were filled with mud deposited during the floods. A majority of the habitations were still under floodwaters.
