Residents of this tiny hamlet near Machilipatnam have been vacating their houses one after the other with overflowing water from Lajjabanda drain inundating the place slowly. By Friday afternoon, the village was caught in waist-deep water. The drain from Guduru joins the sea in Manginapudi, 7 km from this hamlet. With canals from Movva, Kodali and Gudlavalleru villages joining the drain, Lajjabanda began to overflow, Andhra Pradesh.
