DSP Murali Krishna reported that the boats collided with the barrage and damaged Gate 60 early in the morning. “Vehicular traffic between Vijayawada and Tadepalli from the Undavalli side, and in the opposite direction, will remain suspended until Tuesday,” he said.

The Prakasam Barrage has been experiencing heavy inflows, with a record 11.40 lakh cusecs of floodwater being released through all 72 gates.

The second flood warning remained active throughout Monday, as the Krishna River continued to swell due to relentless rains in the upstream areas of the Prakasam Barrage.
