Hyderabad: Heavy rains led to a surge in flood-related complaints across Hyderabad on Tuesday. A total of 49 complaints were registered on the HYDRAA Prajavani platform, with more than 30 linked to nala encroachments and waterlogging in residential areas.
People from several neighbourhoods said illegal buildings had blocked stormwater drains. As a result, floodwater entered homes instead of flowing into nearby lakes or tanks. They blamed these encroachments for turning low-lying areas into flood zones.
Encroachment complaints flood HYDRAA
In Ameenpur village of Sangareddy, residents said a diverted drain from Bandankommu tank had flooded eight colonies. They visited HYDRAA officials in large numbers and demanded urgent steps to stop further damage.
After reviewing the complaints, the HYDRA Commissioner assigned follow-up responsibilities to the concerned departments. In some cases, he promised to visit the sites himself for a direct assessment.
