Warangal: Heavy rains that lashed Warangal since Sunday morning threw normal life out of gear, with several low-lying areas submerged and traffic movement severely affected. Motorists waded through knee-deep water, struggling to navigate inundated roads.

Rainwater entered houses in many colonies, forcing residents to shift to safer areas. The situation turned worse in Kareemabad and divisions 32, 33 and 39, as overflowing water from Peddavagu flooded roads and residential colonies.
