People in the Diviseema area of Krishna district, especially in Hamsaladeevi village, lying in the estuary, are living in the grip of fear.This village lies about seven km from the Bay of Bengal and any breach of the river embankments, already being pounded by the enormous quantity of water, would spell disaster.

So far, two breaches have occurred -- one to the KEB canal inundating three to four villages and another near Edurumundi village which has submerged 12 villages.

Industries Minister K Lakshminarayana and Technical Education Minister M V Ramana Rao directed the police to use force if necessary to shift the villagers to safer places.
