On September 5, 2024, a Central team dispatched by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) arrived in Vijayawada to conduct a preliminary assessment of the damage caused by the recent floods affecting NTR, Guntur, and Prakasam districts. The team’s mission includes examining the safety of local dams and evaluating the overall impact of the floods on the region.

The team will focus on two primary objectives: assessing the structural integrity of dams and quantifying the extent of the flood damage. This assessment is crucial for formulating a response strategy and ensuring the safety and functionality of key infrastructure in the affected areas.

The visit underscores the government's commitment to addressing the aftermath of the floods and mitigating future risks. By thoroughly evaluating the situation, the Central team aims to provide a comprehensive report that will guide subsequent relief and recovery efforts.
