Krishna River Floods: Karnataka aur Andhra Pradesh Mein High Alert, Hazaaron Log Evacuated



Bengaluru/Vijayawada | August 21, 2025 – Heavy monsoon rains and water released from dams have worsened the flood situation in the Krishna River basin. Several districts in Karnataka, along with the Vijayawada region of Andhra Pradesh, have been placed on high alert. Authorities have shifted thousands of people to safer locations, and relief operations are being carried out on a war.


Karnataka: Belagavi Worst Affected

In Karnataka’s Belagavi district, the Krishna River and its tributaries – Vedganga, Malaprabha, and Ghataprabha – have crossed their danger data-end="173" data-start="99">Around 2.5 lakh cusecs of water had to be released from the Almatti Dam.

A total of 550 relief camps have been established, and a flood alert has been issued in eight taluks of Belagavi district. In Gokak and Ramdurg taluks, two people lost their lives after a wall collapsed.

Following the release of 2.6 lakh cusecs of water from the Narayanpur reservoir, the Kollur bridge in Yadgir district had to be closed, forcing local traffic to take a 40 Km detour.  

District officials said, “People have been advised not to go near the riverside areas. Relief and rescue teams are deployed on the ground.”

The rains are still continuing in the Krishna River basin, and the threat of flooding does not appear to be reducing yet. For the people of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, this remains a major challenge. At present, the top priority is ensuring the safety of residents and arranging proper relief facilities for them.

Experts say that until the intensity of rainfall decreases, the districts around the Krishna River will have to remain on high alert.

Trump’s 50% Tariffs on India Spark a Global Storm

Image
The Trump administration shook New Delhi in August 2025 when it raised duties on Indian goods by 50%. What was earlier a 25% “reciprocal” tariff has now been doubled, even as India continued to import cheap Russian oil. This move immediately sparked sharp diplomatic friction and sent shockwaves through global trade corridors. Many analysts have warned that this step could derail decades of U.S.–India economic cooperation. This sudden hike immediately created tension in the relations between Washington and New Delhi. For India, the step was considered highly punitive and unfair, as it delivered a major blow to the economic and strategic partnership that had been developing between India and the U.S. for years. Indian officials described the U.S. move as “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable” and emphasized that India has the full right to secure affordable energy to meet the needs of its huge population and growing economy. Economists and trade experts have also warned that this co...

Russian oil discount to India

Image
  Russia Offers 5% Oil Discount to India Amid Trump’s Tariff Pressure”   Donald Trump , on behalf of the U.S., has imposed tariffs of up to 50% on India — starting with 25% and then an additional 25% penalty — because India continues to buy oil from Russia. In response, both Indian and Russian officials have defended the deal, calling the tariffs “unfair” and stressing India’s right to act on the principle of “strategic autonomy.” Russia further stated that if U.S. tariffs make it difficult for Indian exports to enter the American market, then the Russian market will remain open for Indian goods. A Russian representative even remarked, “friends don’t behave like that.” These statements clearly indicate that, despite U.S. pressure, India and Russia’s strategic ties will remain strong .
