The devastating Diviseema flood of 1977 still haunts the telugu people, with elders recalling it as a "black night" that occurred on november 19, 1977. The sudden change in weather on that evening, with heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, led to widespread panic. Within hours, entire villages were submerged, leaving a trail of destruction and death in its wake. The elders still refer to it as the "boundary flood" that ravaged the region, erasing many villages from the map. The aftermath of the flood was apocalyptic, with reports of lakhs of animals and birds dead, and cattle floating away in the waters. The human toll was staggering, with approximately 60,000 lives lost. The local minister, Venkata krishna Rao, resigned from his post in the wake of the disaster.
However, amidst the devastation, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of then-Prime minister Indira Gandhi. She visited the affected area, braving the challenging terrain, and announced significant aid for the bereaved families. Her efforts to help the people of Diviseema have become an integral part of the region's history.
Indira Gandhi's legacy in Diviseema is still remembered and revered today. Her prompt response and assistance in the face of unimaginable tragedy have left an indelible mark on the people. Whenever the topic of Diviseema's rise is discussed, Indira Gandhi's name is inevitably mentioned, symbolizing her tireless efforts to help those in need. Her selfless actions continue to inspire generations, serving as a testament to her commitment to public service.
