It is known that the people of ap will not easily forget the Budameru terror in the month of september this year. But almost a similar incident took place 60 years ago. The flood terror created by Budameru in Ajit Singh nagar and Satyanarayanapuram areas was not all. At that time, according to unofficial estimates, around 10 people were missing. At that time, a large number of cattle were also killed. In addition to thousands of people being homeless, the administration made some key suggestions for flood protection. The entire Ajit Singh nagar area was inundated after the Budameru embankment collapsed in the middle of the night. At that time, more than 2000 huts were flooded.
At that time people saved their lives by climbing on the terrace there. The authorities arranged boats to evacuate the flood-affected people to safe places, but due to the high level of flood at that time, there were many difficulties in moving the people in boats. At that time there were four feet of water in the premises of Andhra Cement Company. At that time, the workers working in the companies there went to safer areas. The railway colony was submerged due to the flood that occurred at that time. It is reported that at that time the farmers themselves offered to donate 15 rupees per acre for the reservoir. A scientific study of the construction of a reservoir on Budameru took place between 1941 - 1945 during the time of the joint madras State.
