The monsoon showers were accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, which added to the chaos. Hyderabad rains: Commuters were stuck for hours in Knowledge City after rain showers. (X/@Udaykiran_018) The rainfall led to waterlogging and incidents of trees being uprooted at a number of places in the city, along with consequent traffic jams, news agency PTI reported. Many residents of Hyderabad took to social media to complain about the traffic gridlocks, with some claiming that they stood for hours in slow-moving traffic.‘Complete standstill at Knowledge City’
X user Uday Kiran Reddy shared a video of a massive traffic jam in the corporate hub of Knowledge City. “Complete standstill at Knowledge City, Hyderabad after just a short spell of rain! This daily struggle in the IT corridor during monsoons is becoming unbearable. Better management and staggered office timings are needed urgently,” one person said in the comments section, calling for better traffic management. X user Shreya wrote: “Today it took me 3 hours 45 minutes from Manikonda to home. I was on the Biodiversity Flyover for over 40 minutes. If one day of rain can cause this much havoc, flooded roads and absolutely no traffic control, with the growing fuel prices, who would want to go out in their own cars?” Several people questioned how one spell of rain could effectively bring the city to its knees. A user named Sathya shared visuals of cars stranded in high water. One of his videos also showed a vehicle damaged by a fallen tree. “Hyderabad is already choking with massive traffic jams and today's rain has created havoc across the city,” he wrote. “Rain of 4cms in this season, city is on the knees,” wrote X user Prasad Peketi, blaming unchecked growth and concentration of corporate offices in a small neighbourhood.Rainfall in Hyderabad
Heavy rain lashed Hyderabad on Tuesday, June 9, with some parts of the city receiving nearly 10 cm of rainfall. According to data from the Telangana Development Planning Society (TGDPS), the highest rainfall of 98.5 mm was recorded at Vinayak Nagar in Malkajgiri. It was followed by 87.5 mm at Bansilalpet in Begumpet, 79.8 mm at Vittalwadi in Amberpet, and 78.5 mm near the GHMC Head Office in Secunderabad. According to a Deccan Chronicle report, the rain showers began in the afternoon and continued well into the evening. Hyderabad's IT corridor bore the brunt of the downpour, with traffic grinding to a halt across Madhapur, Hitec City, Gachibowli, Kondapur, Raidurg and nearby areas during the evening rush hour. As thousands of office-goers headed home, major junctions witnessed massive traffic snarls, with many commuters reporting delays of several hours. Some IT professionals remained stuck in Madhapur traffic for over three hours, while videos on social media showed ambulances struggling to navigate the clogged roads.
