The surging water from forest streams at the picturesque Bogatha waterfall in Wazedu mandal of Mulugu district kept the scenic spot out of bounds for visitors on Wednesday due to safety concerns.
The site, one of the famous tourist hotspots in Telangana’s tribal-majority district, presented a deserted look on Wednesday with the officials temporarily closing entry to visitors to prevent mishaps, sources said.
The decision was taken keeping in view tourists’ safety as the forest streams across the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border close to the popular tourist destination were in spate.
The Forest department reportedly put up a banner at the entrance of the spot requesting visitors to stay away in view of heavy flow in the waterfall until further notice.
