The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Centre, located in the low-lying area in Mancherial town, is bearing the brunt of waterlogging with the Godavari river in spate.
The flash floods in the Godavari triggered by heavy rains encircled the building in July last year, a few months after its inauguration, prompting the authorities to shift the mothers and their newborns to safety at the eleventh hour.
The move was necessitated following sudden surge in the water level in Godavari due to Rollavagu backwater effect in mid-July last year.
