Heavy Rains Flood Warangal: Traffic Disrupted

Severe Flooding Brings Warangal District to a Standstill

Heavy rains have severely affected daily life in the Warangal region, causing flooding in many areas. The continuous downpour since Saturday night has led to streams, canals, and lakes overflowing, especially in the Eturunagaram Agency area of Mulugu district. This has brought traffic between Eturunagaram and Warangal to a complete stop.

In the Warangal district, the rainfall average was 5.96 cm, but some areas like Nekkonda mandal experienced heavier rain, reaching 10.17 cm. The heavy rains have flooded homes in Kesamudram, Mahabubabad district, and cut off access to many villages as roads and culverts are submerged. In Chennaraopet, heavy rain caused the collapse of a Penkutillu, and a shed’s roof was damaged in Jalli village. Local authorities have cleared debris to provide a temporary detour for affected residents.

National Highway 163, which connects Hyderabad to Bhupalpatnam in Chhattisgarh, is flooded due to the overflowing Jalagalancha Vagu stream. Similarly, Katakshapur Lake in Atmakur Mandal is overflowing, disrupting traffic on the national highway.

In Mahabubabad district, floodwater from Ayodhya Lake has spilled into low-lying areas, including Tallapoosapally village. Several other lakes in the region, like those in Nellikudur, Maripeda, and Kuravi mandals, have also breached, causing more flooding and traffic disruptions.

The district administration is actively responding to the crisis. Mahabubabad District Collector Adwait Kumar Singh has ordered rescue operations in 51 low-lying villages and arranged food, water, and medical support for affected residents.

In Warangal, the heavy rains have led to a flood-like situation in several localities under the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC). Roads were inundated, disrupting traffic in the city. Municipal authorities have warned residents in low-lying areas, like NTR Nagar and Sai Nagar Colony, to be cautious as floodwaters continue to rise. The Bhadrakali reservoir is also filling up rapidly, causing concern for nearby residents.

A control room has been set up at the Warangal Tahsildar office, and Special Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams have been deployed. GWMC officials have canceled leave for their employees to ensure they are available for emergency duties.

Heavy rains have also caused major disruptions in other districts like Nizamabad, Kamareddy, and Mahabubnagar. Floodwaters have inundated low-lying areas, and in some places, traffic has come to a standstill due to overflowing rivers and streams. In Narayanpet district, heavy rain on Sunday morning led to significant waterlogging, with Damaragidda Mandal receiving the highest rainfall in the state at 11.3 cm.

Local administrations across these districts are on high alert, working to manage the situation and provide relief to affected residents.
