Cyclone Murasu Prompts Full Release from Prakasam Barrage, Officials Monitor Flood Risks
Cyclone Murasu has caused heavy rainfall in Andhra Pradesh, leading to the opening of all 70 gates of the Prakasam Barrage to release 71,000 cusecs of water into the Krishna River. Water supply to canals has been suspended to prevent flooding, with officials closely monitoring inflows from local streams. Water Resources Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu has urged irrigation officials to remain vigilant, manage floodwaters, and ensure drainage of rainwater from agricultural fields to protect crops and residents in low-lying areas.
