Concern over ‘possible’ backwater effects of Polavaram on Bhadrachalam
With the monsoon season just around the corner, the demand for expansion of the existing flood bank (karakatta) along the banks of the Godavari in Bhadrachalam town to provide comprehensive flood protection to all low-lying areas in and around the temple town has gained momentum.
The renewed demand for fortifying the flood protection mechanism in the temple town stemmed from apprehensions raised in certain quarters over “possible” backwater effects of the Polavaram project under construction in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh.
