Severe Flooding Prompts Emergency Response in Telangana

Heavy rainfall in Telangana has led to significant flooding, causing the state government to convene an emergency meeting led by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. The continuous downpour has resulted in the loss of ten lives, with Khammam district experiencing the most severe conditions, prompting the opening of project gates to manage excess water. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay, has alerted the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, who has dispatched nine National Disaster Response Force teams to assist in relief efforts across the flooded areas. Local leaders, including BRS MLA T. Harish Rao, have urged the government to enlist the army for additional support and to enhance emergency services statewide. As the rains are expected to continue for the next few days, authorities are focusing on public safety and the accessibility of affected communities. Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid areas prone to flooding.
