Rajamahendravaram Aims to Solve Flooding Before Pushkaralu 2027
The city of Rajamahendravaram often floods when it rains, especially in certain areas.
To stop this, engineers want to build new drains, which would cost money.
This is important because a big festival called Godavari Pushkaralu is coming in 2027, and many people will visit.
The officials hope the government will pay for the drains so the festival goes smoothly.
Also, a project to clean the city's sewage water is stopped halfway, and people want it to continue so the water can be used for farming.
Both drain construction and STP completion are considered important.
Rajamahendravaram faces frequent inundation during heavy rains, with three areas particularly affected.
Engineers propose constructing five drains at ₹15 crore to solve the waterlogging problem.
The upcoming Godavari Pushkaralu in 2027 is expected to draw eight crore visitors.
Officials and residents hope the state government will fund the drain construction.
Sewage Treatment Plant works have stalled mid-way, and its completion is also needed.
