With the flood reaching danger level in the river bed villages, thousands of people in the flood-affected habitations moved to safer places in the nearby hamlets in Eluru and West Godavari districts.
Officers on flood duty were appealing to the people to shift to relief camps as the water level may rise further. All the island villagers were completely submerged in flood in Elamanchili, Achanta and Narsapuram Mandals.
