Kothagudem-Bhadrachalam, Aug.7 (NSS): Minister for Agriculture Tummala Nageshwar Rao has expressed anger at the irrigation authorities for failing to lift the flood water from the temple town of Bhadrachalam.

Upon learning the development, Minister Thummala Nageshwar Rao expressed furious over the negligence of authorities and directed them to lift the flood water from the town into the river.
Then, authorities have lifted the sluice locks of the Godavari river and released the flood water into the river, bringing relief to the residents of Ramalayam area.
