Hyderabad: Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds lashed multiple parts of the city on Saturday evening, uprooting trees and severely disrupting electricity supply. The downpour caused inconvenience to residents, already facing traffic congestion, as waterlogging on key roads further slowed movement.
The gusts brought down trees in several areas, snapping power lines and cutting electricity in affected neighbourhoods. The impacted localities included Hayathnagar, Abdullapurmet, Vanasthalipuram, LB Nagar, Chandrayangutta, Balapur and BN Reddy Nagar, all of which recorded intense rainfall.
