Government takes up restoration work on war footing in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts
The government has initiated restoration efforts to reconnect villages in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts after extensive damage to causeways caused by floods. Over 75,000 people in Vangara mandal lost access to Rajam due to the complete destruction of a causeway. The administration has allocated ₹10 lakh for repairs, with Minister Kondapalli Srinivas confirming completion by the next day.
MLA Kondru Murali Mohan of Rajam district has requested a bridge, estimating a cost of around ₹50 lakh, as the causeway is considered temporary. In Srikakulam district, floodwaters are still present, affecting about 53 villages, including 16 mandals, and 10 in Amudalavalasa. Collectively, these disruptions have isolated numerous communities, impeding travel to neighboring areas like Burja, Palakonda, Srikakulam, and more.
