Work on the construction of the Polavaram irrigation project has been stopped as the Godavari, Sabari, and Sileru rivers continue to be in spate in the Godavari region in Andhra Pradesh.
The Sabari and Sileru rivers join at Chintoor in Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) district before joining the Godavari at V.R. Puram. Consequently, the Polavaram irrigation project receives flood water from the three rivers.
Meanwhile, the second flood warning continued to be in force both at Bhadrachalam in Telangana (where the water level stood at 51.80 feet) and Dowleswaram in Andhra Pradesh on July 28 (Friday).
