Vehicular movement in many villages in Wazedu and Venkatapuram in erstwhile Warangal district, Aswapuram, Cherla, Burgampad and Dummugudem mandals in Kothagudem district has been affected as the main roads at several places inundated with floodwaters.

The TSRTC has not resumed its bus services in view of the flood situation. The District Collector Anudeep D told the special officers and district officials to be alert as the river was flowing above the second warning level.

Meanwhile, the flood situation and lack of transportation has become a trouble for the families that have made arrangements for marriages as auspicious muhurthams available in the week. The marriage parties were taking the risk of crossing inundated roads on tractor trolleys.
