Since tuesday night, more over 2.75 lakh cusecs of floodwater had been released through the gates. Water from the project has also been used by other sources, including the Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme and the Pothireddypadu Head Regulator. Officials said that the hydel units on the left and right banks have been producing power to the fullest extent possible.

It is not appropriate for anyone to swim or do laundry in the river. It is advisable that fishermen avoid fishing in the river, he stated.
