The discharge from Godavari river at Bhadrachalam was about 2 lakh cusecs and there is no flood threat, said officials. Several villages in Eluru and West Godavari districts received good rainfall in the last 24 hours. However, an alert has been sounded and control rooms have been set up to help the people in case of emergency in the two districts.
As a precautionary measure, local residents have been asked not to stay in dilapidated houses and warned against taking shelter under trees and electric poles or crossing overflowing rivulets.
