Telangana CM the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to take help of Army and NDRF for relief measures.
Incessant and heavy rains are leading to a flood-like situation in Hyderabad. On Friday, Telangana declared a holiday for all educational institutions in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts for two days due to the heavy rains.
On Thursday, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao instructed the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to take the help of Army and NDRF for the relief measures if needed, as rains lashed the city for two consecutive days.
Normal life in some low-lying areas of Hyderabad was disrupted due to the water-logging, and traffic was hit badly due to the downpour. The Met department has said "heavy to very" rains are likely in isolated places during the next four days in the state.
Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao and some senior officials visited Allamthota Baavi and Mayur Marg in Begumpet which are inundated due to sudden overflowing of Begumpet nala. Rao also inspected relief camps set up by the Government. A GHMC official said there was a rainfall of 20 mm in eight areas in just one hour between 1 pm and 2 pm today. Water entered into some buildings in Nizampet and Bachupalli on the outskirts of the city.
In the neighbouring state of Andhra Pradesh, seven persons were killed in separate rain-related incidents in Guntur district and two were missing on Thursday. Three persons were washed away in the Kuppaganji rivulet near Chilakaluripet, while another was rescued by the villagers. One person was killed in a lightning strike at Brahmanapalli village near Piduguralla, while another was killed when an uprooted tree fell on him.
Deputy Chief Minister N China Rajappa, who also holds the Home and Disaster Management portfolios and who has been touring Chilakaluripet to oversee the rescue-and-relief operations in the flood-hit areas, announced an ex-gratia of Rs 4 lakh each to the kin of the deceased.
As there was a forecast of more rain in the next couple of days, people living in the low-lying areas were being evacuated to safer places, the deputy chief minister said. He has directed the officials to be on a "high alert" to tackle any eventuality.
