Godavari floods prove engineers wrong about Polavaram impact

Deccan Chronicle  

KAKINADA: The Polavaram project-affected families are in a sad plight as the rehabilitation colonies too have been inundated. The people of the merged mandals and the administrations of Polavaram and Devipatnam mandals had repeatedly urged the authorities to settle their R&R packages by bringing their villages under the 41.5 contour instead of the 45.5 contour before taking up the project construction. Before 2019, the government included the villages like Devipatnam, Pudipalli, Damanapallil, Kothagudem, K Veeravaram, Devanapalli etc in the 45 contour. The present floods inundated all the villages including Yetapaka police station area, the Kunavaram Bus Stand and agricultural fields. Adivasi MahaSabha legal adviser Inapurapu Suryanarayana has requested the government to include all the villages under the 41 contour and construct the rehabilitation colonies in areas that will not be affected by the floods or any other natural disasters in future.
