Rains Unleash Havoc In Telangana, Adilabad Worst-Hit
1 2 3 4 5 6 Hyderabad: Heavy rain lashed several districts of Telangana on Saturday, with Adilabad bearing the brunt as colonies, roads, and public places went under water. The downpour triggered a series of rescues, disrupted transport, and forced authorities across the state into high alert. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall in several districts over the next 48 hours, along with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds. Eleven locations in Adilabad district received more than 124 mm rainfall between 8.30 am and 5 pm, with Tamsi village recording 173 mm rain. Govindraopet in Mulugu district was pounded with 184 mm rain. In Adilabad, a lorry driver who was asleep in his vehicle was washed away in the swollen Tarnam stream, a tributary of the Kadem river, but was rescued by police, revenue officials, and local residents. Another lorry was swept off a bridge, though authorities managed to retrieve both vehicles.

District collector Rajarshi Shah and superintendent of police Akhil Mahajan supervised the evacuation, moving students to the second floor of the building. Officials said Rs 60 lakh has been sanctioned to rebuild the school's collapsed compound wall that allowed water inside. In Gudihathnoor's Seethagondhi village, DDRF teams rescued a family of six marooned by rising waters. The relentless rains also paralysed life in neighbouring Nirmal district, where a youth was swept away near Kannapur village after the Kadem reservoir gates were lifted to release excess inflows. SDRF personnel launched a search operation to trace him, identified as Tippireddy Gangadhar of Kadem mandal. District collector Abhilasha Abhinav inspected the Swarna project in Sarangapur mandal, warning residents in low-lying areas to remain alert as inflows from Maharashtra swelled reservoirs and streams. Nirmal district SP G Janaki Sharmila evacuated ten families from dilapidated houses in Koutla (K) village as a precaution. In Mancherial, officials monitored rising inflows into the Yellampalli project, which currently holds 15.6 tmc of water. With upstream releases from SRSP and Kadem projects continuing, authorities warned that water would be discharged once levels cross 17 tmc. Alerts were issued in villages to caution residents. Elsewhere, Mulugu district reported overflowing streams and waterlogging on highways, forcing motorists to take diversions. With reservoirs filling up rapidly, roads cut off, and colonies inundated, officials said rescue teams are on standby and urged people in vulnerable areas to remain cautious as the monsoon intensifies. According to the IMD, Bhadradri Kothagudem, Hanumakonda, Mahabubabad, Mulugu, and Warangal districts are likely to witness very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall in the coming days. Heavy to very heavy rainfall has also been forecast for Adilabad, Mancherial, Khammam, Siddipet, Jangaon, Suryapet, and several other districts. Almost all parts of the state are likely to see thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds ranging from 30-40 kmph. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
