There is a ‘moderate’ risk of flash floods in the next 24 hours over some watersheds and neighborhoods of south Marathwada, adjoining north interior Karnataka, South Goa, adjoining coastal Karnataka subdivisions, according to the Central Water Commission official flood forecast.
“Moderate risk of flash flood for next 24 hours (valid till 1 pm, September 19) over some watersheds and neighbourhoods of south Marathwada, adjoining north interior Karnataka, South Goa, adjoining coastal Karnataka subdivisions,” the organisation tweeted.
The CWC has further informed that river Kagna at Malkhed in Kalaburagi, Karnataka is rising rapidly due to heavy rain in its catchment as well as releases from Bennithora Dam.
“This has led to the submergence of the road bridge at Malkhed,” it added.
