According to the real-time recordings from the Telangana State Development Planning Society, till 8 pm, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation limits received an average rainfall of 23 mm rainfall. The heavy rains, which saw several roads, especially towards the south of the city being flooded just like they were on Tuesday night, triggered panic in many areas, where people were yet to recover from the destruction caused by Tuesday’s rains.
The day had started on a bright note, with the maximum temperature even rising to 31 degree Celsius from last week’s 24 degree Celsius. However, the clear skies soon became overcast towards the evening, with the downpour beginning around 5 pm in most places. People returning from offices were taken by surprise, with streets in many areas including Hayathnagar, LB Nagar, Jubilee Hills, Koti, MGBS and Uppal soon coming under sheets of water.
A portion of the Falaknuma road caved in, after which officials barricaded the area with the Traffic Police asking people to take alternative routes. One person was electrocuted after coming into contact with an electricity pole near Yashoda Hospital crossroads at Old Malakpet. He was identified as Ramulu, a native of Srikakulam from Andhra Pradesh. There were also reports of alert residents rescuing four people, including two women, struggling to cross a street in Kamala Nagar at Chaitanyapuri.T Today
