Heavy rain lashes Hyderabad, several areas waterlogged

HYDERABAD: Heavy rainfall lashed several parts of Hyderabad on Saturday morning.
In a span of just one hour, Himatnagar recorded 78.8mm of rainfall, which was the highest in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation limits, followed by Khajaguda at 73.8mm.

The short but intense spell of the rain left the city grappling with waterlogging issues across major roads including Madhapur, Raheja Mind space, Begumpet, Padma Colony, Uppal etc.
The situation worsened with office goers venturing out and forced to navigate through ankle deep water across the city.
Several parts of the city also reported disruptions of electricity supply.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued orange alert for the city for Saturday and Sunday owing to high heat levels and ongoing depression near Vidarbha region.
