“The flood-victims must be provided with all facilities including food and drinking water.Start control rooms and use the services of Volunteers.MLAs must visit the flood-affected areas and help the victims,” he said.
The Chief Minister asked the collectors of Alluri Sitarama Raju, Eluru, Ambedkar Konaseema and East Godavari and West Godavari districts to be vigilant in view of the rising flood levels in Godavari.
Reviewing the flood situation through a video conference from Vijayawada, the CM said the flood level at Bhadrachalam was likely to rise to 53.81 feet from the present 49.60 feet.The inflow and outflow at Dowleswaram Barrage could go up to 16 lakh cusecs from the present 13 lakh cusecs position, he said.
“Because it doesn’t go above 17 lakh cusecs, the flood threat would be between the second and third warning levels, as against the flood of 26 lakh cusecs we faced last year,” Jagan Mohan Reddy said.
