The rivers are receiving 3,610 cusecs of water from Gotta Barrage. Due to the fast flow of water, the dams of right main canal (RMC) in Sarubujjili and Lnpata mandals were damaged and fields were inundated by flood water. Due to rain and floods, six houses were partially damaged in different areas, roads were affected and electricity poles fell in different mandals.
