Heavy Rainfall Causes Flooding and Disruptions Across Northern Telangana Districts
Heavy rains have affected multiple districts in northern and eastern Telangana over July 29-30, 2026, with Bejjur in Kumaram Bheem Asifabad recording the highest 24-hour rainfall of 183.5 mm. The intense precipitation caused flooding, road damage, power disruptions, and traffic interruptions, prompting district authorities to issue alerts, establish control rooms, and coordinate emergency responses. While the rains brought relief to farmers amid El Nino concerns, residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas were advised to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel.
