Over 420 pregnant women shifted to hospitals as Sabari and Godavari Rivers rise in Chintoor Agency in ASR district
Over 420 pregnant women are being shifted to nearby government hospitals as a precautionary measure amid the rising Godavari flood in the Chintoor Agency area of Alluri Sitharama Raju district. However, officials of the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA), Chintoor, are yet to begin full-scale relief operations as the water level has not yet reached the second warning mark at Bhadrachalam in neighbouring Telangana. The Chintoor Agency lies downstream of Bhadrachalam. Meanwhile, hundreds of Koya tribal families have begun constructing temporary huts along the banks of the Sabari river in the agency area, preparing to move into them if flood levels rise further. On Saturday, ITDA Project Officer Apoorva Bharat stated that relief camps have been finalised, and medical and health staff will be deployed in all hospitals, including Primary Health Centres. Mr. Bharat also inspected areas along the Sabari river, where the road connectivity between Chintoor and V.R. Puram has been disrupted at two points.
