Greater warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) representatives, including Commissioner Rizwanbasha Shaik, Mayor Gundu Sudharani, and warangal Collector P Praviya, raced to the scene as word of the breach spread to determine the seriousness of the problem. To save the surrounding regions from becoming submerged, authorities have sent personnel to fix the break as soon as possible. For the past six days, the weirs have regularly overflowed into the Bhadrakali Lake.
As the water levels decrease, official teams are reaching out to the impacted areas. The Irrigation Department's canal network and the road communication network have taken the brunt of the damage. The same is true for crops in regions where early seeding was reportedly recorded. The Kaddam project will soon be visited by a knowledgeable team from the dam safety and restoration (DSR) project. The team, which includes some former Central Water Commission employees, will evaluate the project's safety features and provide recommendations for remedial action.
