Houses located on the fringes of the riverbed of the Krishna are being demolished by the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation as work on the third flood protection wall picks up pace.
The municipal corporation has taken up the demolition drive to pave the way for the construction of the 1.2-km-long retaining wall alongside the Krishna between Padmavathi Ghat and Kanakadurga Varadhi in the city.
According to officials, over 150 houses and other structures have been identified for demolition to facilitate the construction of the wall.
