Hyderabad: Musi River Overflows, 1,000 Evacuated As City Grapples With Floods

Hyderabad Rains: Musi River Overflows, 1,000 Evacuated As City Grapples With Torrential Floods | VIDEOS
Hyderabad is reeling from severe flooding after heavy rains caused the Musi River to overflow. 1,000 residents evacuated; CM orders alert as Chaderghat bridge closes.
Torrential rain battered Hyderabad on Saturday, causing the Musi River to swell dangerously and overflow near the Chaderghat bridge after authorities were forced to open the floodgates of the city's twin reservoirs, Himayatsagar and Osmansagar.
The deluge and consequential flooding of the Musi River have resulted in extensive flooding in low-lying regions, prompting a large-scale evacuation operation.

Authorities confirmed that about 1,000 families from low-lying areas along the Musi River, in Hyderabad and elsewhere in Telangana, have been evacuated and relocated to relief camps. Houses near the riverbanks were quickly flooded after water from the overflowing reservoirs was released.

Official sources indicated that necessary commodities, such as food and other basic items, are being distributed to the affected residents in the relief camps. Widespread waterlogging was observed in localities such as Mithila Nagar Colony, which falls in the Meerpet Municipal Corporation of Rangareddy District.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy inspected the rising flood scenario alongside the Musi River. He ordered immediate instructions to officials to carefully track all the neighbourhoods along the river and arrange for pre-emptive relocation of residents from at-risk areas into relief camps.
The Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said the officials have been put on alert and ordered to take every measure in flood-hit areas to ensure public safety at all costs. The regional meteorological center has predicted sustained heavy rains and thunderstorms in scattered areas of Telangana for the day, which indicates the flood risk is still there.
The torrential floods have halted sections of the city's transport system. To ensure safety, police closed off the road approaching the Chaderghat bridge, which led to a huge traffic jam. The Telangana CMO later directed the stopping of vehicular traffic on all flooded roads and causeways immediately.
In addition, flood waters also inundated the premises of the Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS), which is a major transit point. Water ingress led to the suspension of bus operations to and from the station with stranded passengers evacuated to safety.
TGSRTC MD V C Sajjanar also confirmed the disruption in operations by tweeting on social media that buses usually running from MGBS are now being operated from other locations in the city to reduce inconvenience to commuters.
