Andhra Pradesh: Fresh Flood Alert Forces Thousands Upland
Imagine a big river called Godavari.
It rained a lot, and the river got too high, like a bathtub overflowing!
Because of this, over 3,000 families living near the river had to move to a safer place.
They were first moved earlier in the week, but had to go back because the water went down.
Now, the water is rising again, so they had to move once more.
Some people are asking for help because it's hard to get food and get to the hospitals.
Leaders are saying that they have not received help and that roads are broken.
They want the government to help them get food and to fix the roads.
More than 3,000 families relocated due to flood alerts in Andhra Pradesh.
The Godavari River rose to 44 ft, triggering warnings.
25 villages across four mandals are impacted by the flooding.
Roads are cut off, hampering access to some areas.
CPI(M) leaders demand aid for stranded villagers, citing lack of support.
