Telangana is witnessing extremely heavy rainfall across multiple districts, leading to severe waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and widespread inconvenience.
Officials have urged citizens to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary, as the weather continues to worsen.
In Hyderabad, the situation turned critical in the Gachibowli IT corridor where traffic came to a standstill due to waterlogged roads.
Vehicles were stuck for kilometers, causing major delays for office-goers. Many IT employees faced serious difficulties reaching their workplaces.
Responding to the crisis, Cyberabad Police advised companies to encourage work-from-home arrangements. They suggested that employees commute only if absolutely essential, and opt for carpooling wherever possible to reduce traffic load.
Meanwhile, other parts of Telangana also remain under red alert, especially districts like Mulugu, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, and Warangal.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds in some areas.
Disaster response teams are on high alert. Local authorities have arranged temporary shelters and deployed rescue personnel in low-lying zones. Schools and colleges in several affected districts remain closed as a safety measure.
Citizens have been advised to avoid waterlogged routes, follow weather updates, and avoid spreading unverified information on social media. Emergency helplines have been activated for immediate assistance.
Several videos show flooded streets, stranded buses, and people wading through waist-deep water. In many urban areas, drainage systems failed to cope with the intense rain, exposing critical infrastructure gaps.
The downpour is expected to continue for another 24 to 48 hours. Authorities emphasize the need for caution, cooperation, and timely action.
This situation underlines the urgency for better urban planning, emergency preparedness, and climate-resilient systems to safeguard lives and maintain essential services during such extreme weather events.
