Godavari flood breaches 25 lakh cusecs mark after 16 years

As the flood flow surpassed the 25 lakh cusecs mark on Saturday evening and reached the greatest discharge at Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage in Dowaleswaram since August 2006, the fierce Godavari has rendered over two million people’s life crippled in six districts of Andhra Pradesh. 

The tremendous downpour had now affected 628 communities, notably the island villages known as lankas, under 44 mandals in these districts, with no relief in sight.
