After light rainfall was recorded across Hyderabad on Monday night, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) quickly initiated relief measures to prevent inconvenience to the public. GHMC Commissioner RV Karnan stated that the corporation had already deployed monsoon emergency teams at 141 key water-logging points across the city, in anticipation of rain as per alerts from the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
Thanks to these timely efforts, rainwater was cleared without delay from several known water-prone locations including Jawahar Nagar RTC Crossroads, Naini Narasimha Reddy Steel Bridge in Musheerabad Circle, Aditya Hospital near Warangal Highway in Uppal Circle, and Pillar No. 191 in Rajendra Nagar Circle. This prevented any major traffic disruptions and ensured smooth vehicular movement.
The GHMC, in coordination with the Telangana Development Planning Society, recorded an average rainfall of 2.3 mm across the city using data from 155 automatic weather stations. Commissioner Karnan confirmed that there were no reports of loss of life, damage to property, or incidents involving house or wall collapses.

As part of monsoon preparedness, Commissioner Karnan conducted field inspections in the Kukatpally Zone on Tuesday. He reviewed development works in Moosapet, Gajularamaram, and Kukatpally circles. At Moosapet Metro Station, he inspected a major water stagnation point and ongoing box drain construction funded by the Strategic Nala Development Programme (SNDP), which stretches from IDPL Cheruvu to the RTC Depot. Noting delays due to land acquisition issues, he instructed officials to start nala works in non-disputed areas to prevent flooding during the monsoon season.
During his visit to Kaithalapur Road, he checked the progress of road-widening works and demanded an explanation for the delay. Upon learning that the issue was sub judice, he directed the legal team to file counters to resolve the matter swiftly. He also urged the zonal commissioner to pay special attention to the area.
Additionally, the Commissioner visited the Kailas Varam Hindu Graveyard and a nearby animal care centre. At the centre, he inquired about methods used to identify sterilized stray dogs. Officials informed him that notched ears are the standard way to recognize dogs that have undergone sterilization surgery.
These inspections and proactive measures reflect GHMC’s focus on timely rain management, infrastructure upgrades, and public health safety ahead of the monsoon season.
