Since the onset of monsoon, there have been critical situations in Andhra after the Godavari river crossed the third warning mail. The Godavari floods in Andhra Pradesh have continued to affect residents of villages in the Godavari districts for nearly 10 days now. Many of the Lanka (island) villages in East and West Godavari districts continued to get wet, though the flood flow has reduced by over two lakh cusecs since Saturday.
