Flood situation easing in Karnataka, still grim in Andhra
Bangalore/Hyderabad: Respite from rains Sunday improved the situation in flood-hit north Karnataka but surging waters from an overflowing Krishna river threatened to inundate coastal districts of Krishna and Guntur in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, senior officials said.
''The ground situation in the 10 worst-affected districts is improving as we had a break from torrential rains that battered the northern region for three-four days,'' Karnataka disaster management authority member K K Pradeep said.
