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. In Nellore district too, heavy inflows led to flooding of rivulets and canals in Sullurpeta division.

Other districts of the state, including Krishna, Guntur, Kadapa, East Godavari, and Srikakulam district experienced moderate to heavy rains. /IANS
