Hyderabad: Recent heavy rainfall has brought both relief from the intense heat and new challenges for Hyderabad residents. The city is grappling with widespread waterlogging, submerging roads in several low-lying areas and causing significant traffic disruptions.
Overflowing potholes are making roads hazardous, leading to minor accidents and driver frustration. In response, the traffic police have advised commuters to avoid the Shaikpet flyover. The Gachibowli-Narsingi-Langer House-Mehdipatnam route is also heavily affected, resulting in severe traffic jams and delays.
Residents are turning to social media to voice their frustrations, sharing images and videos of submerged streets and traffic congestion. Travelers are advised to seek alternative routes to minimize inconvenience.
Additionally, water leakage was reported at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) terminal on August 19, following the recent rains. A video circulating on social media showed passengers navigating through the terminal as water dripped from the roof. This incident has raised concerns about the airport’s infrastructure resilience during extreme weather.
Hyderabad Airport authorities acknowledged the issue, stating that there was no significant leakage or water stagnation. They assured that technical experts are being consulted to prevent future occurrences.
Not only in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, but heavy rainfall has also caused widespread difficulties across several districts in Telangana. Many people have faced hardships, with RTC buses, motorcycles, and cars seen submerged in water on the roads.
