With several rivers in spate following heavy rains, road connectivity from Andhra Pradesh to the neighbouring States of Odisha and Chhattisgarh was cut off on July 27 (Thursday).
As a result, movement of vehicular traffic and people came to a grinding halt at the tri-State border, at Chintoor in Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) district.
The Sabari river, which originates in Chhattisgarh, and the Sileru, which flows from Odisha’s Malkangiri region, are in spate.
