Bhimavaram in Aswapuram Mandal reported the loss of 40 sheep, attributed to extreme cold weather conditions.As part of the response, officials took precautionary measures by opening two gates of the Kinnerasani project, releasing water into the Godavari. However, the cascading effects of heavy rains extended to disrupt coal production at the Singareni Collieries Company over the past two days.
Transportation in Kothagudem district bore the brunt of the downpour, particularly in Dhammapet, Aswaraopet, Sujatha Nagar, Julurpad, Aswapuram, and Mulkalpalimandals. Roads and bridges succumbed to overflowing rainwater, causing significant disruptions to vehicular movements.
