In several areas, the riders of two rounds stopped under the pillars of the metro for shelter, although some of them were wearing raincoats. “I had a raincoat, but the downpour was so rough that I didn’t see the road clearly,” said K. Shiva Kumar, a delivery manager who covered near the Ameerpet metro station. “It didn’t make sense in the mess. I expected almost 30 minutes for the rain to slow down.”
Another commuting, 28 -year -old Sruthika said he was stuck at the JBS intersection for a good 30 minutes. “The vehicles did not move at all. It was as if the road was turning into a river. I had to slowly push the wheel with an ankle deep water,” he said.
In tarnation, traffic staff from the Osmania University division quickly responded to the removal of fallen branches of trees and alleviate overload. Hyderabad traffic police and the strength of the reaction to disasters (DRF) were also deployed across key problems, including the sub -Alfondda Bavi, who was completely soak.
Traffic police dressed in Khaki in Postkop coats were seen throughout the city, destroying when they drove vehicles with sunken roads and intersections.
In Habiguda, he faced a two -round problem when his bike disintegrated into the deep water of his knees. “It just gave up halfway,” he said, pulling the stopped vehicle to the side as it turned around his seals and the traffic passed a slow, chaotic sharp.
On X (formerly Twitter), the Police provided Hyderabad updates in real time. “Due to rain and heavy traffic, the movement of the vehicle is slow from KCP to Panjagutta Road,” one update read. Others warned against a delay near the overpass Tolichowki, the Mandar complex and the nanalagar because of the standing water.
In the southern parts of the city, the section Chandrayangutta belonged to Aramghar among the worst affected. With up to three feet of water stagnating on the road near the police station, vehicles were stuck for more than two hours. The traffic police tried to avert the flow as the cars collapsed and the two laps were overthrown while trying to navigate the submerged section.
The Cyberabad police described serious congestion in cone and neighboring technological corridors. “Strong rains caused sudden contamination in Cyberabad, which led to a major traffic growth. Our officers quickly took over and tirelessly worked to alleviate overload,” the police said.
