Heavy rains in and release of water from Gangapur Dam on Saturday caused the Godavari to flow above the danger mark, said district collector Suraj Mandhare.

He said 17,748 cusecs (cubic foot per second) of water was released leading to the level of the river reaching almost to the deck of Holkar Bridge.

Mr. Mandhare asked people living along the banks of rivers to be alert as water from several dams had been released following heavy rains over the past few days.

Several cusecs of water were released into various rivers from Gautami, Alandi, Bhavali, Waldevi, Palkhed, Chankapur, Punad and Haranbari dams, Mr. Mandhare informed.

Earlier in the day, an Irrigation department official said water had reached up to the neck of the Dutondya Maruti, a statue of Hanuman on the bed of Godavari river, and was a few feet below the Ram setu bridge.
