The Medigadda pillars have sustained further damage as a result of severe flooding in the Godavari River over the past few days. Previously, pillars 19, 20, and 21 had already shown signs of distress, and recent high floodwaters have intensified the damage. Visuals of the affected pillars have been released, highlighting the severity of the situation.
Current repair efforts at the site have been disrupted by the ongoing flooding. Additionally, erosion has led to the formation of burrows beneath the pillars, with significant sand erosion reported. Officials have issued warnings about the potential for further erosion and additional sand displacement as floodwaters continue to rise.
