Kurnool is a memory of the tears left by the 2009 floods..!?

* kurnool is flooded as the river waters recede.
* Low-lying areas inundated by torrential rains.
* 65 thousand people hiding in special camps.

In the month of october 2009, the raging form of the tungabhadra river and the conflagration of the krishna river were not all the problems faced by the people of the combined kurnool district. Even though it has been 14 years since this incident, the people of kurnool cannot easily forget those tearful memories. Thinking of those tearful memories melts the heart. In late september 2009, the low-lying areas were inundated by a series of torrential rains. Along with the Mantralayam on the banks of the Tungabhadra, all the river basins were flooded. Due to the inflow of lakhs of cusecs, the dams of the Sunkesula project were broken while Krishnamma's paravals stepped over the gates of the srisailam project. The city of kurnool was devastated by the backwaters of the krishna River. It is easy to understand the condition of Konda reddy Buruj, which is remembered as kurnool, half submerged.
Thousands of people were left stranded and property was severely damaged along with loss of life. Agricultural lands were cut and the farmers were in debt. Around 50 people died during the kurnool floods. It took a long time for kurnool to recover from the incident due to the loss of crores of rupees. Residents still tear up when they think of the photos of the flood horrors of yesteryear.

Around 65,000 people took refuge in special camps during the kurnool floods. Two floors of houses in the coastal areas are completely submerged in water and the flooding problem due to the backwater of the srisailam project has increased and people are in a state of panic. The stench of dead cattle carcasses on the roads, stopped electricity supply, water supply, and completely submerged house supplies and clothing were not all the problems faced by the people of Kurnool.
