Although rains have abated in parts of the upper reaches of the Godavari on Thursday, several stretches of the main roads passing through the Bhadrachalam Agency remained submerged, affecting vehicular traffic on the inter-State routes in the border mandals.
The Godavari showed signs of receding at Bhadrachalam with the water level slightly decreasing just below the danger mark of 53 feet on Thursday evening.
However, the TSRTC bus services, the only public transport facility in the tribal region, remained suspended between Bhadrachalam and Charla due to flooding of a portion of the highway at Turubaka in Dummugudem mandal, sources said.
