Due to the heavy rains in the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh for the last four days, highways and residential colonies were heavily inundated. A primary school in Makivalasa under the Narasannapet Constituency of Srikakulam District is submerged in rainwater.

The school has 55 students and now the school is being run in a tent nearby.

Earlier, Srikakulam collector Srikesh also visited the flood-affected areas. "If there is heavy rain, we are ready with all preventive measures,” the Srikakulam collector said.

Srikakulam Revenue Minister Dharmana Prasad declared a holiday in the camp office as the road leading to the camp office was completely waterlogged. Prasad further added, "The entire Chennai to Kolkata National Highway is flooded. Special measures are being taken under the supervision of the authorities."

Due to the heavy rainfall, the Chennai-Kolkata national highway has been submerged. The Vamsadhara, Nagavali, and Bahuda rivers in the Srikakulam district saw a substantial increase in water level as a result of the continuous rains.

Regional Meteorological Center (Amaravati) said moderate to heavy rains will occur in North Coastal Andhra Pradesh on Thursday. Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts would receive rain in some places on Thursday.
