Relief Measured Underway After Heavy Downpour, Bikes And Road Damages

Once again, heavy rains battered Hyderabad, inundating several residential areas, disrupting vehicular traffic and electricity supply.  Dozens of colonies in and around Hyderabad remained inundated on Saturday following heavy rains overnight.

At least 50 bikes were damaged when the compound wall of Shiv Ganga cinema theatre collapsed in the Dilsukhnagar area.  However, no casualties were reported in the incident, which occurred when people were coming out of the theatre after the first show. Rainwater had entered the theatre and apparently weakened the compound wall.

Dozens of colonies in Saroornagar, Champapet, Meerpet, Hayatnagar, LB Nagar, Abdullahpurmet, Rajendranagar, Chandrayangutta and other areas were inundated. People in the affected colonies complained that the municipal authorities were not taking steps to improve the drainage system and that they have been facing problems every year.

The heavy downpour affected the vehicular traffic and disrupted electricity supply in many areas in the city and outskirts. A bus was caught in flood water at Majidpur in Abdullahpurmet Mandal on the city outskirts.
