The Godavari River has risen to 42.10 feet at the Dowleswaram Barrage, nearing its first warning level of 43 feet. While still below this threshold, authorities are monitoring the situation closely, especially in low-lying areas, as heavy inflows continue. Historical data indicates that the highest recorded flood level at Bhadrachalam was 75.60 feet in 1986, with significant impacts during the 2022 floods. In Polavaram district, over 32,000 people were affected by flooding in the Sabari and Godavari rivers, with 971 homes submerged. No casualties were reported, but over 12,449 families were impacted, with 2,100 evacuated to relief camps. Relief operations, including the deployment of 81 boats, are ongoing, and traditional boat operators have resumed work after receiving assurances about compensation. Flooding has also disrupted road connectivity in some areas, and floodwaters are being released into the Bay of Bengal from the Godavari Delta.
