రాజోళిలో ఇప్పుడు మగ్గాల శబ్దాలు ఆగిపోయాయి. నేతన్నల హృదయాలు పగిలిపోయాయి. ప్రపంచానికి బట్టలందించే నేతన్నలు నేడు దాతలందించిన పాత బట్టలు మూటల్లో వెతుక్కొని కొలతలు చేసుకొని వేసుకుంటున్నారు. ఎవరేమైనా బయటి నుంచి ఏదైనా ఇస్తారేమోనని రచ్చకట్ట దగ్గర వచ్చిపోయే వాహనాల వెంబడి ఆశగా ఎదురు చూస్తూ రోజులు గడుపుతున్నారు.

తుంగభద్రలో అనూహ్యమైన వరద వచ్చినందువల్ల, సుంకేశుల ఆనకట్ట నిర్మాణంలో గతంలో జరిగిన అవకతవకల వల్ల, ప్రస్తుతం ఆ ఆనకట్ట తెగిపోయినందువల్ల ఆ రాతిగోడమీది నుంచి వరద ఊళ్లోకి ప్రవేశించింది. అసలు సుంకేశుల ఆనకట్ట నిర్మాణం దగ్గరి నుంచీ ఊళ్లోకి ప్రవేశించిన బురదను ఎత్తిపోయడం దాకా ప్రభుత్వ, అధికార యంత్రాంగం లోపాలు, నిర్లక్ష్యాలు, అక్రమాలు ఎన్నో ఉన్నాయి.

సేద్యానికి శ్రామికుని కొరత
ఉపాధి పనుల్లో కూలీలు బిజీబిజీ
