HYDRAA has begun desilting a 3-km stormwater drain in Fatehnagar-Balanagar following complaints of recurring flooding. Teams removed 6 to 7 feet of silt and decades-old garbage, while officials were directed to identify and remove encroachments along the drain.
HYDRAA has blamed the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation for failing to desilt drains, leading to flooding during recent thundershowers. Officials said covered drains hindered maintenance work and urged coordinated efforts among departments to prevent waterlogging across Hyderabad
Hydraa Commissioner AV Ranganath has directed Disaster Response Force teams to remain prepared for urban flooding during the monsoon. Officials have identified 913 flood-prone locations, including 257 major concern areas, and are implementing measures to reduce flood-related disruptions
