Amaravati, Nov 12 (TIWN) With the depression weakening and forming a low-pressure area, several parts of Andhra Pradesh experienced heavy rains on Friday, with Nellore and Chittoor districts bearing the maximum brunt.
Overflowing rivers and rivulets disrupted vehicular traffic, while more than a thousand people had to be shifted to relief camps. In Chittoor district, the Swarnamukhi river, several rivulets and tanks are overflowing in the district. Three persons were rescued by bystanders when floodwaters swept them away while they were crossing a causeway on the Swarnamukhi river, near Srikalahasti. As many as 26 relief camps have been operationalised in Chittoor district, with two SDRF and one NDRF teams on standby for handling rescue and relief operations.
