Officials sounded a high alert in the Polavaram project-affected villages in the Agency Mandals of Eluru district which are prone to floods as the Godavari River continued to be in spate due to heavy rains in its catchment areas in the last few days.
The water level in the Godavari was at 51.40 feet at Bhadrachalam at 10 am on Wednesday, and the forecast is it will rise further, the Central Water Commission (CWC) officials said.
