The incessant rains over the past week have led to the filling up of reservoirs and streams in the city, but also caused significant traffic disruptions due to overflowing of some water bodies.

The heavy water flow from the Nalla Cheruvu lake in Uppal has resulted in traffic chaos, particularly during the morning hours on Wednesday. The city’s inner ring road at Uppal experienced flooding, causing inconvenience to commuters and bringing vehicular movement to a standstill. Local authorities and traffic police were on high alert to manage the situation and ensure the safety of citizens.

Meteorological experts have noted that Tuesday evening witnessed an intense downpour, causing a rise in water levels in several water bodies. The situation improved slightly on Wednesday morning as the rainfall turned lighter, but the showers persisted until evening with less intensity.

Residents in low-lying areas have been advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. The Telangana State Development Planning Society has urged people to avoid venturing out during the heavy rainfall and to stay informed about the weather updates.
