Several residents of the low-lying areas in Bhadrachalam staged a sit-in at the sub-Collector’s office on July 20, 2023 renewing their demand for deployment of adequate number of high-capacity motor pumps to drain out the stagnant backwaters from the Godavari in areas surrounding the Vista complex in the temple town.
Later, the demonstrators led by the CPI(M) town committee leaders submitted a memorandum to the Revenue authorities pressing their charter of demands.
Earlier, addressing the dharna, the CPI(M) local leaders alleged that the State government did not pay heed to the long pending demands of denizens of the town for concrete measures to find a lasting solution to the recurrent flooding of the low-lying areas near the famous Sri Sitaramachandra Swamy temple in Bhadrachalam.
