The Governor further said she heard grievances of people at Battilagumpu village and assured that it will be conveyed to the district administration for necessary assistance. Heavy rains (recently) and inflows led to massive rise in water-level in Godavari river (though it started declining on Saturday) at Bhadrachalam town in Telangana. Such massive water level and flooding was witnessed in 1986, some residents recalled. Several localities in Bhadradri-Kothagudem district continued to remain in water on Saturday. The state government has shifted several thousand people to relief camps in view of the flood in the district.
