Heavy rainfall leaves 32 dead in Telangana; Hyd streets flooded
Offices Shut, Army Called Out For Relief Ops
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Hyderabad:
At least 32 people have been killed in Telangana after a deep depression passed over the state in the last two days, unleashing heavy rain and widespread destruction. Heavy rain was reported in Andhra Pradesh, north Karnataka and south Odisha. At least 23 people were killed on 14 Oct while nine died in a wall collapse on 13 Oct.
Telangana’s capital Hyderabad bore the brunt of the downpour with many streets, especially in the Old City, turning into virtual rivers. As the situation turned critical, the Army was called in to help in rescue and relief operations.
Hyderabad was cut off from Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, with access becoming difficult on the national highways connecting Vijayawada and Bengaluru. Many parts of Hyderabad did not have electricity for hours. This hit the city’s IT sector hard as many techies lost broadband connections in the absence of power.
Greater Hyd’s wettest day as city gets month’s rainfall in 24 hours
Wednesday went down as the rainiest day in the history of Greater Hyderabad, as the city received a month’s rain on a single day, bringing life to a crippling halt.
The city and its outskirts recorded 324.5 mm rainfall in just 24 hours, according to the Telangana State Development Planning Society.
“Since the deep depression was centered over Hyderabad, it led to torrential rains. But it was unprecedented as our observatory has never witnessed such a high amount of rainfall in October,” said Naga Ratna, incharge director, Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
In Andhra Pradesh, heavy rains triggered by the deep depression left behind a trail of destruction in several coastal districts with scores of villages going under water. As many as 98 villages in Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari and Krishna districts remained under flood water for the second day.
In north Karnataka, heavy rain over Monday and Tuesday flooded roads and fields, destroyed crops and damaged houses. A 70-yearold woman died in Gadag district on Wednesday as her house collapsed.
Rain in Telangana also led to heavy discharge into Karnataka rivers, with all major dams in the Cauvery and Krishna basins brimming and their floodgates opened once again. Kalaburagi, Yadgir and Bidar were the worst hit, officials said.
Heavy rain continued to batter south Odisha for the third consecutive day on Wednesday leading to waterlogging in several areas, with Ganjam and Gajapati districts being the worst affected.

Priyangi Agarwal, The Times of India
Delhi recorded its coldest night in the month of October in 26 years on Thursday when the minimum temperature dropped to 12.5°C, three notches below normal.
