TGiCCC steps up monsoon response, issues red and orange alerts in Telangana
With relentless rain lashing several parts of Telangana, the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGiCCC) has upgraded its monsoon preparedness, issuing red and orange alerts across key districts and activating an emergency response mechanism. A red alert has been sounded for Komaram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Nirmal, and Peddapalli districts, based on the India Meteorological Department's forecast and field reports indicating a high likelihood of heavy to very heavy rainfall. District Collectors, Commissioners and Superintendents of Police, and local control rooms have been put on notice, as the State braces for possible flood-like conditions, road blockages, and the need for swift rescue efforts. Neighbouring districts including Adilabad, Nizamabad, Jagitial, Jayashankar Bhupalapally, Mulugu, and Bhadradri Kothagudem are under an orange alert, where heavy rainfall is expected to cause localised disruptions. In a bid to ensure early warning and timely action, the alerts have been disseminated via the Sachet Integrated Alert Platform, allowing district authorities and the public to take precautionary measures in real time. The Multi-Agency Operations Centre (MAOC) at the TGiCCC is now functioning round the clock, coordinating with police units, disaster response teams, municipal officials, and other civic departments. Local-level emergency protocols have been activated, and all concerned departments are on high alert. Joint Action Teams comprising personnel from HYDRAA/Disaster Response Force, GHMC, the Water Board, TGSPDCL, and law and traffic police have been deployed to monitor and address waterlogging spots within the GHMC limits. Key support systems currently active include live weather and flood tracking through satellite feeds, GIS-based incident mapping, camera surveillance analysis, inter-agency resource coordination, and mass communication via alerts and social media in affected areas. Citizens are urged to stay tuned to official updates and cooperate with authorities during this ongoing spell of heavy rain.

Heavy Rain Warning for Telangana: Residents Advised to Stay Indoors
The Meteorological Department has issued a warning of heavy rainfall across the state of Telangana starting today, with torrential downpours already affecting several districts since Wednesday morning. Hyderabad and its suburbs are experiencing particularly intense rainfall, prompting authorities to advise citizens to remain indoors unless absolutely necessary. The department has forecast that heavy rains will persist throughout various parts of Telangana for the next four days, with the north and northeast regions expected to experience very heavy rainfall. Consequently, water levels in the Godavari River are rising, leading the government to implement measures for relocating residents from areas prone to flooding, particularly river basins and low-lying regions. Hyderabad has faced daily rainfall of varying intensities, causing congestion and delays on the roads. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has instructed senior officials to ensure the public does not face undue difficulties due to the weather. In a recent review meeting with district collectors, he emphasised that any negligence on the part of authorities will not be tolerated. He also urged the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), police, and disaster response teams to remain vigilant and to take proactive measures to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases following the rains. Traffic congestion is expected to exacerbate in areas including Kukatpally, Ameerpet, Balanagar, Panjagutta, and others, with reports indicating that even minor rainfall can bring vehicular movement to a standstill. Commuters have shared their frustrations, likening the experience of being stuck in traffic to the mythological figure Abhimanyu trapped in the Padma Vayuham. Calls for assistance to emergency services have resulted in delays, as operators attempt to identify the relevant police station for those reporting traffic issues. In light of the anticipated weather conditions, motorists are advised to consider alternative routes and to limit travel unless necessary. Officials continue to stress the importance of staying safe and keeping off the roads during this hazardous period.
