In view of the Red Alert in Telangana and Maharashtra, the Chief Minister said that he would review the situation from time to time and also hold video conference today (Saturday) or tomorrow (Sunday).

The Chief Minister appealed to people not to venture out of their homes unless there is an emergency and take self-precautions.
In the wake of heavy inflows and flooding of River Godavari and Pranahitha, KCR alerted the state's irrigation officials and instructed them to take necessary steps.
KCR deferred "Revenue Awareness Programme" with Ministers, MLAs and Collectors which were scheduled at Pragati Bhavan on July 11.
