The onset of heavy rains, attributed to the influence of the low-pressure system associated with Dhoni in the Bay of Bengal, has prompted the Meteorological Department to issue warnings of continued heavy to very heavy rainfall for today and tomorrow.

Already, the impact of the torrential rains has led to floods in various districts, disrupting public life and necessitating relief efforts by the government. Overflowing rivers and inundated areas have compounded traffic problems, prompting officials to advise residents in high-intensity rainfall zones to venture outdoors only in case of emergencies.

In Konaseema district, fears of flooding loom large among the residents, despite the withdrawal of danger alerts at the Dhavaleshwaram barrage in East Godavari district. With 9 lakh cusecs of floodwater being discharged into the sea, apprehension grips the populace regarding the potential flood pathways. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is actively involved in relocating individuals to safer locations, particularly in the Gurajapulanka Pallamvaripalem area of Konaseema district, severely impacted by the floods. Meanwhile, Alluri district continues to experience copious rainfall, leading to traffic disruptions at multiple points along overflowing rivers.
