In a rare event after nearly 60 years, all 15 floodgates of Osman Sagar were opened due to heavy inflows from persistent rains. The HMWSSB, which had already issued five flood warnings in recent months, was forced to act as inflows surged past 12,000 cusecs.

Following the release of surplus water from Osman Sagar and Himayatsagar, over 1,200 families were evacuated from flood-hit areas along the Musi River in Hyderabad. GHMC and HYDRAA teams carried out rescue operations, including saving five people trapped on the ORR service road.

Hyderabad authorities have issued a flood warning as Osman Sagar and Himayath Sagar reservoirs discharge a combined 12,000 cusecs due to ongoing rains. Citizens are advised to stay alert and avoid low-lying areas to ensure safety

The HMWSSB has issued a flood warning for Hyderabad’s twin reservoirs, Osmansagar and Himayatsagar, following a significant increase in water inflows and rainfall forecast in their catchment areas. While inflows have been steady over the past week, Wednesday saw a sharp rise, prompting gate releases to manage water levels.

In 2020, 20-year-old Shaik Aamir was swept away in Musi River after reservoir gates were opened. His body was never found. Six years later, his parents, already struggling with health and financial issues, continue to live with the tragedy.

Nine floodgates of Himayathsagar were lifted on Thursday, releasing surplus water and causing inundation at Puranapul. Officials say there is no immediate threat to nearby colonies but have prepared evacuation plans if the situation worsens

HMWSSB continued operating Himayat Sagar’s floodgates for a third day on Saturday as inflows reached 500 cusecs. Osman Sagar levels also rose, while GHMC reported Hussain Sagar’s inflows and outflows, alerting low-lying areas to possible waterlogging risks.

HMWSSB officials are closely monitoring inflows into the Osmansagar and Himayatsagar reservoirs. While Osmansagar remains below capacity, Himayatsagar is near full tank level with steady inflows. Residents in low-lying areas and along the Musi River have been asked to stay alert.

Following recent heavy rains, the water level in Hyderabad’s Himayathsagar reservoir rose by one foot, reaching its Full Tank Level (FTL) of 1763 feet,
