Flood situation in Krishna River basin eases as water levels recede
1 2 V ijayawada: The flood situation in the Krishna River basin is beginning to ease, with water levels gradually receding following a decrease in rainfall across upstream regions. At the Prakasam Barrage in Vijayawada, inflows dropped to 2.45 lakh cusecs on Saturday, prompting authorities to withdraw the first danger warning that had been in place for the past two days. Despite the relief, officials said reservoirs such as Nagarjunasagar, Pulichintala and Srisailam are still discharging nearly 1.7 lakh cusecs into the river system. While the current flows are under control, authorities are maintaining caution as weather conditions in the catchment areas remain unpredictable. Authorities estimated that the flood level at Prakasam Barrage is likely to come down further to 1.5 lakh cusecs by Sunday night. Adding to the concern, the Budameru stream, which runs through parts of Vijayawada and Krishna district, has swollen due to heavy local rains. The rapid flow has raised fears of possible inundation in several low-lying villages, particularly across the Gudivada region.

BMC to curb garbage dumping at Bicholim rivulet
Bicholim: Bicholim Municipal Council (BMC) has decided to take steps to curb garbage dumping along the Bicholim rivulet (Aark) near the KTC bus stand towards Sanquelim. Locals informed BMC that unidentified people are dumping garbage, blocking the water flow from the Aark rivulet. The Aark rivulet is connected to the Bicholim river for proper discharge of water during the monsoon. Any blockage in this rivulet causes flooding during heavy rain. Flooding stopped after PWD fixed the issue at the main flooding point, but garbage dumping near the KTC bus stand has again raised concerns, said resident Subhash Usapkar. BMC chairperson Vijayakumar Natekar said the council will install CCTV cameras or take other remedial measures to curb garbage dumping. Despite repeated cleanups by BMC, people still litter the area, he said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
