In the early hours of August 12th, 2025, Warangal district experienced heavy rainfall, submerging several residential colonies and causing significant inconvenience to residents. The low-lying areas of Warangal city were particularly affected, with water levels reaching knee-deep in some places, making it difficult for people to access their homes.
This monsoon season incident is a regrettable repeat of last year’s events, as open drainage water stagnation became a recurring issue in the Tri-Cities limits. The Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) has been accused by residents of failing to complete pre-monsoon works aimed at preventing such incidents.
The absence of an underground drainage system in Warangal is a significant problem that exacerbates the issue during heavy rainfall. As a result, sewage water flows through open drains, causing flooding and sanitation concerns.
In Kasibugga and Karimabad areas, including NTR Nagar and Gokul Nagar, residents have reported facing difficulties in their daily lives due to the inundation of water. The situation has disrupted normal routines, and efforts are underway to drain the affected areas as quickly as possible.
As the monsoon season continues, residents are hoping for improved drainage systems and quicker responses from local authorities to prevent similar incidents in the future. This story is still developing, and we will keep you updated on any further developments regarding the situation in Warangal city.
