Hyderabad, :– Heavy rainfall has caused the Hussain Sagar reservoir in Hyderabad to reach its full capacity, leading to flood water entering the reservoir from the top. The water level has crossed 513 feet, with the full capacity being 514 feet. Due to this, officials have advised residents of low-lying areas to remain vigilant.
Water from the rains is also entering the reservoir from Bulkapur canals, resulting in heavy flooding in the surrounding areas. In response to the rising water levels, authorities have lifted the gates of the Hussain Sagar reservoir to release excess water downstream.
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials have assessed the situation and are prepared to take necessary action if the water level continues to rise. Residents of Kavadiguda and other flood-prone areas have been alerted to be cautious in the next 24 hours.
It is crucial for residents to stay informed and follow safety instructions to ensure their well-being during this period of heavy rainfall and flooding.
