Madduvalasa reservoir received around 6414 cusecs of water and and outflow was 6060 cusecs on Monday morning. People living in Santakaviti, Rajam, Regidi Amadalavalasa and Vangara mandals are worried about the safety with the heavy inflows to Nagavali and its tributaries. However, Collector B. R. Ambedkar said that there was no need to worry since the inflow was not alarming and there would not be any sudden discharge from Madduvalasa reservoir. He asked the officials to take steps to shift the people living in low-lying areas to safe places as a preventive measure.
