Foundation Stone Set for Second Amaravati Flood Pumping Station

Amaravati is a city in India that sometimes faces flood problems.

The government is building a big machine, called a pumping station, to help stop floods.

This machine will suck up extra water from a small waterway called Kondaveeti Vagu.

Then it will push the water into the big Krishna River.

This helps keep the city dry when there is too much rain.

The building work started with a special ceremony on Friday.

This will be the city's second pumping station, so it will have a stronger defence against floods.

The new station is expected to be ready by February 2028.

The government also talked about building a new bridge over the railway line near a hospital called AIIMS.

That bridge will make it easier for cars to reach Amaravati.
