Heavy Rains Relieve Farmers, Trigger Flood Alert in Nirmal
Heavy rain fell in Nirmal district from Tuesday night to Thursday.
The rain helped farmers because it watered their crops after a dry period.
But the water also made streams and low places overflow, flooding roads and cutting off some villages.
Big irrigation projects like the Kadam Narayan Reddy Project opened many gates to let water flow safely.
The district collector set up a 24‑hour flood control room and asked officials to stay alert.
The MLA visited the project to check how the flood was being handled.
Heavy rainfall from Tuesday night to Thursday brought relief to farmers in Nirmal district.
Flood‑like conditions caused streams, rivulets, and low‑lying areas to overflow, submerging roads.
Major irrigation projects (Kadam Narayan Reddy Project, Sadarmat Barrage, Gaddanna Vagu Swarna Project) received significant inflows, with gates opened to manage water.
District Collector Bhavesh established a 24/7 flood control room and directed officials to remain alert.
Khanapur MLA Vedum Bojju Patel visited the Kadam Project to review flood management.
