Overview

• Major projects in Telangana lifted gates to manage high inflows, including releases near 3.80 lakh cusecs at Nagarjuna Sagar, inflows around 3.39 lakh cusecs at Srisailam, and about 2.32 lakh cusecs from Sriramsagar into the Godavari.
• At Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage, inflows remained above 8.20 lakh cusecs, prompting a high alert in Konaseema with boats positioned for evacuations and the first warning threshold set at 10 lakh cusecs.
• East Godavari authorities began relocating 198 fisherfolk families from Kethavari Lanka, Vedurlanka and Bridge Lanka to relief camps in Rajamahendravaram.
• Rising water in Kolleru Lake submerged roads and cut access to several lake‑bed villages, as Eluru police deployed drones, EDRF teams and standby boats for relief operations.
• Andhra Pradesh sounded a high alert at Prakasam Barrage, with discharge projected to exceed the first warning level by Tuesday morning and possibly reach six lakh cusecs later in the day as the IMD predicts more rain.
