Bogatha Falls Shut till July 26

 Hyderabad: Following heavy rainfall in forest areas, Bogatha Waterfalls will remain closed to visitors until July 26, district forest officer (DFO) Kishan Jadhav announced on Wednesday.

Citing safety concerns, the forest department has also permanently closed four other waterfalls—Muthyala Dhara, Kongara, Mamidi Loddi and Krishnapuram—for public access.

The DFO warned tourists against venturing into these areas under any circumstances. Forest officials said violations of these restrictions will attract strict action, including the filing of police cases.
