Vijayapura/Bagalkot: After nearly a week,
heavy showers during which resulted in the
flooding level of the Krishna,
Doni and Bheema rivers and threw life
out of gear in
Vijayapura and
Bagalkot, a semblance of
normalcy returned to the two districts on
Sunday.
However, thousands of people displaced from their homes continue to stay either at the rehabilitation centres or in the homes of friends and relatives. They are gripped by the fear of health hazards they may be facing at the rehabilitation centres.
Villages on the banks of Ghattaprabha, Krishna, Doni and Bheema rivers, are now waiting for the residents to return home.
Meanwhile, the Almatti Dam in Vijayapura registered an inflow of 1.7 lakh cusecs, while 1.5 lakh cusecs were released from the reservoir. Chief minister BS Yediyurappa will be conducting an aerial survey of the flood-hit districts of Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Raichur and Bagalkot on Wednesday.
