"telangana-rains"

Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao thanked the members of the film fraternity for their gesture.

The Minister appealed to all residents in low lying areas and those staying in the first and second floors to shift to relief camps immediately and not to put their lives at risk.

Out of the 59 Distribution Transformers (DTRs) that were affected by floods five were repaired and the work on the remaining was going on.

The Chief Minister has asked all officials concerned to come prepared for the meeting since the State government has to submit a report to the Centre on the losses caused by the heavy rains and flash floods in the State.

Heavy rains were witnessed in Hyderabad and its surrounding areas, Khammam, Nagarkurnool, Medak, Suryapet, Nalgonda, Warangal and Wanaparthy.
