Flood threat is once again looming large over dozens of riverside villages in Bhadrachalam Agency with the Godavari crossing the first flood warning level of 43 feet and rising steadily at Bhadrachalam owing to copious inflows from the upper reaches of the river.
Sources said that all the tributaries of the Godavari, including the Pranahita and Indravati, are in spate with heavy rains pounding the upstream areas since Monday.
