Both the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) and the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) have suspended bus services between Hyderabad and Vijayawada via Kodad due to the dangerous conditions. The swollen Chimiryala Vagu on the interstate border has also impacted traffic on the highway.

Authorities are urging residents to stay indoors and avoid non-essential travel. Emergency helplines have been activated to assist those in need. The revenue officials and police of Andhra Pradesh have been deployed on the highway stopping the movement of heavy vehicles and buses because of the flood risk involved.
