The authorities on Wednesday withdrew the second warning for the floods in the Godavari as the inflows fell to below 15 lakh cusecs at the Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage at Dowleswaram in East Godavari district.
The affected people in the habitations along the river in the Konaseema district heaved a sigh of relief as the floodwaters receded in their locations.
However, the islands still remained cut off from the mainland, and the evacuated people had been told to stay put at the relief centres for a few more days.
