Authorities in Polavaram district have issued a flood alert for residents along the Godavari and Sabari rivers due to heavy inflows expected over the next 48 hours.
Continuous rainfall in upstream regions, including Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Maharashtra, is contributing to the rising water levels.

Impact & Risks

The rising water levels in the Godavari and Sabari rivers pose a significant risk to communities living along their banks. Submergence areas near the Polavaram irrigation project are particularly vulnerable. The closure of tourist spots and waterfalls indicates the potential for hazardous conditions. Residents in low-lying areas are advised to remain vigilant and seek assistance if needed. The situation could escalate if rainfall continues in upstream regions.
