Torrential rain in Hyderabad hit the normal life as streets were flooded, traffic congestion and diversion took place. Musi River started overflowing after gates of the Himayat Sagar reservoir were opened last night due to heavy rain.
Water entered homes in colonies near the Musi River in Chaderghat, causing significant damage. As a precautionary measure, over 1,000 people living in low-lying areas here were shifted to relief camps.
Residents told ANI, “The river water suddenly flooded our houses, and the officials did not inform us. Our homes and all the materials — TVs, fridges, rice — were submerged. We request the Telangana government to help us in this matter.”
