Locals pick up pieces after floods ravage Vijayawada

The Hindu  

Vijayawada is limping back to normalcy, with many people beginning to clean and wash their houses. While milk stalls and kirana stores have yet to open in YSR Colony, those in Ajith Singh Nagar and other nearby colonies opened their shutters after nine days. Guru, who owns a ceiling material shop in Rythu Bazaar Road of Singh Nagar, returned on Monday, September 9, and opened the shop only to see his goods damaged. A chai seller in the Daba Kotla Centre pegged his loss at ₹1 lakh, while an auto driver getting his vehicle repaired near the flyover said he would have to spend ₹30,000 on it. Even as the officials sounded an alert regarding the possible floods in Budameru rivulet due to heavy rain in catchment areas, the Singh Nagar flyover saw heavy traffic, as usual.
