Rains, however, are not likely to relent with IMD, Hyderabad on Monday issuing a warning that heavy to very heavy rains across multiple regions of Telangana State, including Hyderabad and the neighboring districts, will occur in the coming 24-hours.

While there were no reports of major downpour during peak office hours in Hyderabad on Monday morning, wet and inundated roads, however, caused traffic congestions at several sections . Thanks to the impact of overnight showers, traffic moved at snail’s pace at several busy stretches including Trimulgherry, Karkhana, Begumpet, Alwal, Kompally, Uppal, Nagole and Habsiguda. Slow traffic was also witnessed at Yashoda Hospitals, Nalgonda cross roads, Malakpet railway station, Azampura towards Chaderghat.
