Water inflow into river Krishna and its tributaries in Maharashtra increased to 70,052 cusecs on Thursday. This lead to two more low-lying bridges in Chikkodi taluk getting submerged.
Sidnal-Akkol and Jatrat-Bhiveshi bridges across river Vedganga got submerged in the river waters on Thursday.
As there are alternative roads to reach the villages in the region, villagers are not much inconvenienced by the submersion.
This takes the number of inundated bridges in the district to six totally. Two bridges got submerged on Monday and two others on Wednesday.
Catchment areas of river Krishna and its tributaries --Doodhganga and Vedganga-- have received heavy rains in Maharashtra. This has led to an increase in the inflow in the two rivers.
