Bridges flooded as Malkangiri reels under rain fury
The New Indian Express Jeypore
|August 19, 2025
INCESSANT showers in the last 24 hours caused a flood-like situation in the district, disrupting interstate communication between Malkangiri and Andhra Pradesh as well as Telangana as rainwater flowed 3-4 feet over low-lying bridges at Potteru, MV-96 and Kangrukonda on NH-326.
Connectivity between Kalimela and Podia was also disrupted as rainwater submerged the low-lying bridges near Kalimela Kanyashram following the downpour since Sunday night. Water entered shops and houses of many residents near Malkangiri district headquarters hospital (DHH) reportedly due to lack of drainage facility.
The district administration has put in place necessary measures to drain out rainwater from the shops and houses.
