The town of Kalaburagi is currently experiencing significant flooding due to a substantial water discharge from Maharashtra’s Sina, Ujjani, and Veer reservoirs. The total water released is estimated at over 3.5 lakh cusecs. This significant volume of water has overwhelmed local drainage systems, causing widespread flooding in the area. Residents are reporting damage to infrastructure, including roads and homes, as the water continues to rise. Authorities are assessing the full extent of the impact and implementing measures to mitigate further damage and prevent further displacement. Emergency response teams are actively working to provide assistance to affected communities.
