Families were curled up in embossed camps, bridges underwater, and farmers who watched immersion were the scenes on Sunday in the Kalaburagag district, because the floods showed no signs of relaxation, even after the rain.
Thousands of people were displaced from the low -lying villages in Afzalpur, Jeswargi, Chittapura, Kalagi and Sedam Taluks from the Kalaburagi district. The administration opened 53 nursing centers, where more than 6,664 people are protected, including almost 2,270 women and 1,344 children.

Datatrey’s temple in Ganagapur, one of the most respected shrines in the region, drew devoted to Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, was forced to stop daily rituals. Accessible roads were underwater and the priests suspended loan when the flood waters entered the temple complex. Pilgrims coming on the weekend were averted.
Release from the pressure of Maharashtra Mount
The flood stems from a massive discharge from Maharashtra. The Sina reservoir itself was released by 2.7 Lakh Cusecs, followed by Ujjani (45,000 Cusecs), Veer (30,000 Cusecs) and Bori (5,000 Cusecs). On Saturday, Ujjani raised the solution to 1.00 000 cusecs and turned the combined release to Bhima nearly 4 lakh Cusecs and assembly pressure on Sonna Barrage in Afzalpur Taluk.
The Central Water Commission (CWC) warned on Sunday that both Bhima and Kagina in the “difficult situation”. On the Deongaon bridge, Bhima stood 405.15 meters, 0.65 meters above the level of danger, while the Kagina in Malkhed was 400.72 meters, 1.72 meters above the danger. The levels showed a declining trend, but it is expected that the influx from upstream keeps swollen for several days.
On Sunday evening, release from the Maharashtra reservoirs decreased to 1.84 Lakh Cusecs, including 1.39 CUSECS of Sina and 40,000 CUSECS from UJJANI and Sonna Barrage drain was kept to 2.80 lakh Cusecs AZ Bennethory and 12,000 cusecs. Kalaburagi clarified that the outflows could increase depending on the inflow.
Precipitation above normal
The excess of the local collision complicated the crisis. Kalaburagi received 901 mm from January to 25 September this year compared to normal 614 mm, 47% above the diameter. August was almost 70% above normal and the first three weeks of September were 39% beyond normal. In the week before the flood peak, rainfall was 85% higher than usual. “It is one of the most widest monsoons in recent memory, and because our black soil has been holding water for weeks, crops are serious,” said Samad Patel’s common director of agriculture.
Red gram, cotton, green gram and black gram have been devastated. Preliminary estimates set losses at 1.05 Lakh hectares, but farmers claim that this number is more than double.
The survey disrupted
Social and educational survey of the state was derailed because the enthusiasts cannot reach marginal villages. “We are asking us to end during the school holidays, but the bridges are underwater. It’s impossible,” said Chittapore teacher. Schools remained closed under an orange warning.
