‘Clarify potential submergence threat posed by Polavaram’
Senior CPI (M) leader and former Bhadrachalam Member of Parliament Dr Midiam Babu Rao has demanded that the Central government should give clarity about the potential submergence threat posed by the upcoming Polavaram project in Andhra Pradesh to Bhadrachalam in Telangana. If the flood level in the Godavari reaches 61.5 feet at Bhadrachalam, nearly half of the temple town will be inundated, he said, highlighting the possible scale of impact of the backwaters of the Polavaram project, once completed.
He was speaking at AMC Colony in the temple town on Thursday after flagging off the five-day padayatra by the CPI (M) town committee.
