Vijayawada Clears Budameru Stream to Prevent Flooding
Imagine the city's drains are like roads for water.
Sometimes, things get in the way, like trash or plants.
The city's boss told workers to clean up the drains.
They found a blockage outside the city, where the water flows in from.
They used big machines to clear everything so the water could flow smoothly.
This helps stop the city from flooding when it rains a lot.

The action was taken following the instructions of the Vijayawada Municipal Commissioner.
Debris and water hyacinth were removed near the SLV Grand area.
