Karimnagar District Faces Floods from Continuous Rainfall
A lot of rain fell in the Karimnagar district in India, starting on Tuesday night and going on into Wednesday.
The rain made small streams and rivulets overflow, flooding towns like Jagtial and Korutla.
Because of the water, cars couldn’t drive between Jagtial and Dharmapuri, so traffic was rerouted.
In the nearby coal mining area, the rain filled the quarries and made the roads muddy, so the mines had to stop working.
In Godavarikhani town, low places got underwater and water even went under railway bridges.
The heavy rain also helped fill up the River Godavari and some irrigation projects, giving water to farms.
Two dams, Lower Manair and Mid Manair, also got extra water from the rain.
Continuous rainfall since Tuesday night caused rivulets and streams to overflow in Karimnagar district, flooding towns such as Jagtial and Korutla.
Traffic between Jagtial and Dharmapuri stopped and was diverted through Rayapatnam and Rajarampalli due to overflowing rivulets Aksaipalli and Anantharam.
Coal production at Singareni Collieries Company Limited’s Ramagundam opencast mines stalled because quarries filled with rainwater and roads became muddy.
Low‑lying areas of Godavarikhani town submerged, with heavy floodwater passing under railway bridges at the 5 and 2‑A inclines.
River Godavari and irrigation projects, including Sripada Yellampalli, received inflows; Lower Manair and Mid Manair dams each received about 200 cusecs.
