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.
