As heavy rains continue to lash Telangana since Tuesday night, the state administration has been placed on high alert by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. The downpour has resulted in the inundation of several low-lying areas and disrupted road connectivity to numerous villages across the region.
Rivulets, lakes, and ponds have overflowed due to the heavy rainfall, leading to flooding in roads and villages situated in the affected regions. The situation has been particularly severe in districts such as Sangareddy, Mulugu, Bhadradri Kothagudem, where the floodwaters have caused extensive damage.
Officials from these districts have reported that numerous families have been displaced due to the flooding and urged residents living in vulnerable areas to move to higher ground. They have also stated that relief teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) have been deployed to aid in the relief efforts and restore damaged infrastructure.
With the rains expected to continue for the next 48 hours, there is a possibility of more flooding. The Telangana government has appealed to people living in vulnerable areas to heed the warnings and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
The Chief Minister’s decision to place the entire state administration on high alert underscores the gravity of the situation, as the rains continue to pose a significant threat to lives and property in several parts of Telangana. The government is actively working to mitigate the impact of the floods and restore normalcy to the affected areas as soon as possible.
As always, it is advisable for people living in these regions to monitor official weather updates and follow instructions from local authorities during this critical period. Residents are also encouraged to extend help and support to their fellow citizens who have been affected by the floods, as communities come together to face the challenges posed by the heavy monsoon rains.
