Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy admitted that officials failed to act on advance warnings, leading to severe waterlogging and traffic snarls in Hyderabad after recent rains. He criticised poor coordination between civic and police departments, warning of strict action against lapses and directing a data-driven approach to tackle rain-related disruptions.
Heavy rains lashed Hyderabad on Sunday, flooding major roads and colonies. Traffic came to a standstill as returnees from Dussehra holidays struggled through waterlogged streets and congested routes across the city.
