KURNOOL: Despite being designed nearly 15 years ago, the construction of a flood safety wall in Kurnool has been delayed, leaving the city vulnerable to recurring floods.
The irrigation and revenue departments and the Kurnool Municipal Corporation proposed the wall in late 2007 to prevent flooding from the Tungabhadra and Handri rivers, but the project remains stalled due to political and funding issues.
Kurnool residents, haunted by memories of the devastating 2009 floods, are now even more concerned after the flash floods in Vijayawada.
