HYDERABAD: Owing to heavy downpour on Saturday night, residents of various areas across the twin cities had to battle with inundated roads and power cuts.
According to Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the unseasonal rain occurred due to a trough over Telangana from north Karnataka.
The MeT office issued a yellow warning three days ago in this regard. Kapra recorded the highest rainfall to the tune of 116 mm followed by 113 mm at Nacharam, 100 mm at Chilkanagar among others. Several other areas such as Marredpally, Sainikpuri, Uppal, Alwal among others recorded 60-100 mm rainfall. Uppal, Saroornagar, Malkajgiri, Saidabad and Moula Ali also experienced up to 100 mm rainfall.
Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL) had to brace for a barrage of complaints across its helpline and on Twitter. The IMD had once again issued yellow alert citing that more rainfall can be expected in the next three days.
