Floodwaters inundate Gopalapuram in Eluru district as heavy rain lashes region

Visuals from the locality show strong currents of muddy floodwater flowing through a built-up area, with roads completely submerged and water rushing past shops and other commercial establishments. The force of the water appears to have made movement through the affected stretch extremely difficult.

The flooding has raised concerns among residents over the impact of continued heavy rainfall, particularly in low-lying areas and locations with inadequate drainage infrastructure. The situation could also disrupt local transport, business activity and access to essential services.

The latest spell of rain has added to the weather-related challenges in parts of Andhra Pradesh following Cyclone Murasu. Residents in vulnerable areas are advised to avoid crossing flooded roads, stay away from fast-flowing water and follow instructions issued by local authorities.
