A rain-swollen local stream washed away a causeway on the National Highway 163 near Tadvai in Mulugu district on Friday night bringing to halt vehicular movement between Pasra and Tadvai stretch of the vital road link, necessitating diversion of traffic through an alternative route.
The floodwaters from Janagalancha vagu, a local stream, overflowed on the causeway damaging it completely on Friday night.
The police led by Mulugu ASP Sudhir Ramnath Kekan immediately swung into action and diverted the vehicular traffic towards Eturunagaram via Narlapur, Medaram and Tadvai.
