"standard-operating-procedure-sop"

Despite a monsoon-season ban on road-cutting works issued by the MA&UD Department, civic bodies in Hyderabad continue infrastructure and desilting projects. Residents have raised concerns over delayed flood-mitigation works, warning that several localities remain vulnerable to flooding this year.

The SOPs, part of a month-long guidelines issued by the MHA, will be effective from December 1 and will remain in force up to December 31.
