Heavy rain in Tirupati has led to the inundation of several areas. Water levels in and around – Tirupati, Madhura Nagar, Gollavani Gunta, Lakshmipuram, Air Bypass road, Chandragiri town and the Kapila Theertham temple – have increased. In the videos one could see two wheelers being swept away by the water and people are facing a lot of problems. The Tirumala Ghat road has also seen huge flooding and there have reportedly been landslides and many trees have been uprooted. Several areas waterlogged and normal life has been thrown out of gear.
A low pressure area in the Bay of Bengal intensified into a depression and it resulted in heavy rains. TTD has earlier closed two pedestrian routes to the Venkateswara temple in Tirumala for two days (November 17 and 18) in the view of heavy rains.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy conducted a review meeting with the Deputy Commissioners of Nellore, Chittoor and Kadapa in the wake of heavy rains. He instructed them to take necessary measures so that people will not face any problem. He also instructed officials to arrange relief shelters with all facilities, and to give Rs 1,000 as relief amount to those staying in relief shelters.
As per Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management (APSDMA) alert, heavy rains are expected in the district on Thursday and Saturday.
Here are some videos….
