Motor pumps deployed to clear Budameru floodwater

Municipal Minister P. Narayana has announced that officials and workers are working tirelessly to drain stagnant Budameru floodwaters using motor pumps. He assured that by Friday evening, the floodwaters would be pumped out from all affected areas. The minister toured the flood-hit areas on Thursday, overseeing the ongoing cleaning and sanitation efforts. Accompanied by MLAs Bonda Umamaheswara Rao and Kolikapudi Srinivas Rao, he visited Payakapuram, UDA Colony, Journalist Colony, Kandrika, and Ambapuram.
Minister Narayana explained that instructions had been issued to officials to clear minor floodwaters in several locations. He also inspected the flow path of the Budameru from Payakapuram to Mustabada. Special arrangements were made to drain stagnant water from open spaces between houses. The minister noted that in Vijayawada, water had almost receded in all 32 divisions, with only a few areas still affected.
He also highlighted that workers were cutting through roads in flooded areas to facilitate water drainage. By Friday evening, he reiterated, all stagnant water would be cleared, and the cleaning and sanitation work in all divisions would be completed, bringing normalcy back to the flood-affected areas.
