Hyderabad: Footpath dwellers who make the pavements their home are suffering a lot due to the continuous rains.

With no safe shelter, the people are sitting on the pavements, covering themselves with plastic sheets and waiting for the rain to stop. A few lucky find some safe space in front of the shops that have temporarily closed, while a few manage to take shelter under well-grown trees. The flyover provides shelter for some.

The affected seek help from the administration in the form of some safe shelter, rain coats and other basics during the monsoon.
