Flood Water Flowing High Over Kadam Project: People Being Evacuated
Adilabad/Hyderabad, July 27 (Maxim News): The flood situation is grim following the heavy rains, and people living in the downs stream and low-lying areas are being evacuated and shifted to safer places under Irrigation projects like Kadam in erstwhile Adilabad district today. The flood water is flowing high over the project gates and walls with heavy inflows into the Kadam project.
Four gates out of 18 are struck and officials are unable to operate them to discharge the water downstream. Again, the Kadam project has entered into a danger zone with heavy inflowing following the rain in its surrounding Mandals and in upstream in Maharashtra. Officials are releasing water downstream by lifting the gates of the kadam.
Special Chief Secretary (Irrigation) Rajat Kumar and other senior officials of the department were monitoring the situation. Chief Secretary A Santhi Kumari is also in touch with the project officials.
Technical teams have reached the project for restoration work. People from villages in the vicinity of the project are being moved to nearby places as a precautionary measure. The project has received record inflows following heavy rains in the catchment. Inflows into the project are in the order of 2.34 lakh cusecs as against an outflow of 2.34 lakh cusecs.
Efforts are on to scale up the outflows. Project levels have started receding. Chief engineer Sudhakar Reddy said. The reservoir levels touched 702 ft on Thursday morning, two feet above the Full Reservoir Level (FRL) of 700 ft. It caused some alarm. Engineer-in-Chief of Operations and Maintenance, Nagender Rao has been tasked with the restoration works. (Maxim News)
