Heavy rains have closed ghat roads in the Alluri district. Due to the continuous downpour, the authorities have decided to close the streets in Paderu, Araku, Chintapalli, and Maredumilli ghat sections from 7 PM tonight to 6 AM tomorrow. This precautionary measure aims to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of travellers.
Weather Conditions Worsen
The district has been experiencing relentless rain for the past few days. The Meteorological Department has warned about possible landslides and flooding in the area. The heavy rains have caused significant disruptions, with waterlogging and road damage reported in several places. The authorities have urged people to avoid non-essential travel until the situation improves.
Preventive Measures in Place
In response to the adverse weather conditions, the district administration has deployed teams to monitor the situation continuously. Emergency services are on high alert, and necessary arrangements have been made to handle any eventualities. Closing the ghat roads is critical to avoid mishaps, as these roads are prone to landslides and slips during heavy rains.
Public Advisory
Residents are advised to stay indoors and follow the authorities’ updates. People living in low-lying areas should be particularly cautious and ready to move to safer locations if necessary. The administration is working around the clock to ensure the safety of the public and minimize the impact of the heavy rains.
