Hyderabad: In response to the continuous downpour since August 30, authorities have issued a landslide warning for areas surrounding the Uma Maheswara temple in Nagarkurnool district. The torrential rains have caused floodwaters to overflow, engulfing the temple premises and raising alarm among locals and officials about potential landslides in the vicinity.
The heavy rains have not been limited to Nagarkurnool alone. Several parts of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are grappling with flood-like conditions as rivers and streams swell beyond their capacities. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast predicting persistent heavy rainfall across Telangana until September 3, further intensifying concerns over potential natural disasters.
In Rangareddy district’s Shadnagar constituency, the situation is particularly dire. The Yenkiryala stream, which flows near Kondurg and Nawabpet villages, has overflowed due to the relentless rains, washing away the connecting road between the two villages. The local administration has urged villagers to stay vigilant and avoid venturing near the swollen stream to ensure their safety.
As the region braces for more rain in the coming days, authorities are on high alert, closely monitoring water levels and preparing for possible evacuations. The current weather conditions underscore the need for residents in affected areas to follow official warnings and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their property. The ongoing heavy rainfall and resulting flood situation highlight the vulnerability of these regions to natural calamities during the monsoon season.
The district administration, along with disaster management teams, is working tirelessly to mitigate risks and provide assistance to those in need. Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest weather reports and adhere to safety advisories issued by local authorities.
