Unlike the pelvis Krishna, there is no joint interstate mechanism for monitoring water levels and control of floods in the BHIMA basin.
That is why the villages in Bhima are likely to suffer in Sindgi from the Vijayapura district in the Sindgi district from the Vijayapura district.
He said that people in some parts of the districts of Vijayapura and Kalaburagi have suffered unprecedented floods this year. Floods are usually caused by water released from the tank.
“This time, however, a huge amount of water was released from the Sina River, which caused the floods in villages along Bhima, the former Minister of irrigation said.
