00:00In Vijayawada's Singnagar area, the flood was not just a flood, it was more than a flood.
00:08Apart from the houses, this area was completely engulfed by the flood.
00:12Not only this, the flood also engulfed the areas that were affected by the flood.
00:18The flood came to an extent.
00:21With this, people left their homes and belongings,
00:24and were forced to return to their homes.
00:29People are in tears as the houses that they loved so much are caught in the flood.
00:35Don't put it inside.
00:56Where did the flood reach?
00:58To the ends of the Bhirambu temple.
01:00To your house?
01:01Yes, from outside.
01:04The whole house was engulfed.
01:07It is not wrong to build a dam, but the area to be built is wrong, and the rights given to it are wrong.
01:13This is what many people understood when the Budameer dam exploded.
01:17But the authorities did not even think of this flood, which has never been heard of in history.
01:21In Budameer, where 6,000 cubic meters of water should flow,
01:24In just one day, more than 40,000 cubic meters of water flooded Vijayawada city without a way to get ahead of it.
01:32Most of the colonies in Vijayawada are built within the Budameer dam.
01:37Locals say that real estate business attacks have taken place here by demolishing the dam.
01:43Many people bought the land here at a low price with the hope that houses like this would come.
01:48After the dam was flooded, they are upset that they bought it in such an area.
01:53If you look at it presently, I know that the Budameer dam has been damaged four or five times.
02:02The main reason for this is the attacks.
02:05It is not just that there were attacks, but all political parties raised and supported them.
02:10There is one reason for that.
02:12There is a need to go there, travel about 170 kilometers,
02:16go into the water in the Budameer dam and fall into the Koller lake.
02:21The Koller lake should have 5,80,000 acres.
02:24Today, it has been reduced to 3,80,000 acres.
02:27Because of that, there is a loss.
02:29When the Budameer diversion channel was spent 200 crores,
02:33as far as I know, why did those 200 crores come back today?
02:36It is to be done again and again.
02:39After that, rehabilitation, resettlement, rescue, these operations will again cost 200-300 crores.
02:45Even the residents of the area behind the Budameer dam do not know that such a disaster will come.
02:49Because real estate business and attacks have been going on here for the past 15 years.
02:55That is, after 2010, the Koller lakes began to come here.
02:59The surprising thing is that even after knowing about the FTL, buffer zone, Kalwa area,
03:06how did the construction of houses happen here?
03:10But the people lost.
03:12The real estate businesses benefited.
03:14The authorities played the role of spectators.
03:16Then who will compensate the people who lost?
03:32Not only the Budameer, the Munneruvagu situation in Telangana is also the same.
03:36In addition to the Munneruvagu, Kanapuram and Lakaram,
03:40there are FTL buffer zones in the Kalwa area, which is adjacent to it.
03:44No land sales or purchases should take place in this area.
03:47Authorities should not even allow the construction of houses in the area.
03:51But they gave all kinds of permissions, unlike ordinary lands.
03:55The authorities, from land registration to house construction,
03:59completed all the processes efficiently and put the people in trouble.
04:04After that, some people who were under the control of the authorities,
04:07stood in the way of the flow of the river.
04:09The result was a great disaster.
04:17In the existing system, the rivers used to go that way,
04:24and the streams used to go that way.
04:27They are naturally formed and there are many.
04:30So, if it rains in the hills, a stream comes from there,
04:33fills a stream, goes up from there and moves freely.
04:37Now, due to the development, these rivers, streams, streams,
04:41all these are being attacked.
04:44Due to this attack, we are putting obstacles to the free flow of water,
04:49to the water that flows freely in a few billion years.
04:54We humans are putting obstacles.
04:57Because of these obstacles, the river takes its own route.
05:03So, if we come to the river, the river comes to our house.
05:07That's what's happening here.
05:09We came to the river, we came to the streams, we came to the streams.
05:13That water comes to our houses, as a revenge.
05:17In the loss of these two regions due to the floods,
05:20the role of the authorities seems weak.
05:22Because the authorities have to take measures such as
05:25stopping attacks and not allowing construction.
05:29They have to think about the future,
05:31no matter how many political parties are behind this.
05:35But none of that is visible here.
05:37The population is increasing,
05:39and houses are needed for it.
05:41Some businesses that rely on this
05:43and get down to business
05:45are starting to sell less houses and land.
05:49The poor and middle class are getting attracted to this.
05:53Real estate businesses are casting their hopes
05:57by giving them courage to fear the upcoming floods.
06:00In the end, they are making the people
06:02susceptible to those floods.
06:20Come inside.
06:32Once it was Hyderabad, then Bangalore,
06:34then Chennai, and now Vijayawada.
06:36In any region, it has become common
06:38for floods to flood cities.
06:40We can't stop the floods.
06:42Even with the latest news,
06:44the people and the authorities
06:46have to unite.
06:48This can reduce the loss of property.
06:51Otherwise, the floods like Vijayawada
06:53will continue to happen.
06:55The population is increasing,
06:57and cities need to be organized.
07:00They need to get the resources
07:02they need in all places.
07:04Only then will the development happen.
07:06The people will be safe.
