Latest Update: Heavy Rain Causes Drain Overflow, Traffic Disruptions, and Submerged Roads in Multiple Areas
Hyderabad’s suburban regions continue to face intense rainfall, leading to major drain overflows and severe flooding in several parts of the city. In addition to earlier reports, areas such as Toli Chowki, Mallepally, and Nampally have been severely affected, with visuals showing streets and roads turning into lakes. The relentless rain has caused multiple drains to overflow, turning the situation hazardous for both commuters and residents. In some low-lying areas, motorbikes were seen floating away due to the rising water levels, and traffic has come to a standstill.
The storm has also resulted in widespread traffic jams, particularly in areas like LB Nagar, Vanasthalipuram, and Nagole, where roads have been submerged. The highest recorded rainfall occurred in Uppal’s Chilkanagar, which saw over 36 mm of rain, while Nacharam and Bandlaguda followed closely with 20 to 21 mm. Additional rainfall was recorded in Habsiguda, Osmania University, and Nagole, with figures between 17 and 18 mm. The flooding has turned the roads into virtual lakes, leaving vehicles stranded and disrupting daily life.
Local authorities have urged residents to stay indoors and avoid flooded areas. Emergency services remain on high alert, prepared to respond to any incidents. The weather department has predicted further rain in the coming hours, particularly in the city’s low-lying regions, making caution essential.
Residents are encouraged to keep following official updates through reliable channels and to refrain from unnecessary travel during this period to ensure safety.
