Nagarjuna Sagar Project is currently experiencing heavy flooding, prompting the authorities to raise the gates to manage the excess water. As expected, the Sagar gates were lifted this morning, with Collector C.

Narayana Reddy overseeing the lifting of gates 13 and 14. These two gates were raised by about five feet to release the water. Officials are releasing 5 to 10 thousand cusecs of water downstream from each gate, with plans to lift more gates this evening in response to the high flood levels. It is anticipated that up to 6 to 8 gates will be lifted to release water downstream.
