VIJAYAWADA: NTR District Collector G Srijana has instructed officials to identify and report on encroachments along Budameru rivulet as part of the State government’s priority project, ‘Operation Budameru,’ which aims to provide a permanent solution to flooding. During the meeting, Srijana highlighted that the recent heavy rains in the Budameru area resulted in around 40,000 cusecs of water flooding low-lying areas and crop fields, affecting more than two lakh families in the city. She emphasised that a permanent solution to the flooding is necessary, and ‘Operation Budameru’ has been announced to address this issue. As part of the government’s plan to prevent future floods, she stressed the need for accurate reports on encroachments, noting that the removal of these encroachments would be carried out on a war footing without causing any inconvenience to residents.
