Severe Flooding Devastates Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Pakistan

Heavy monsoon rains have caused widespread devastation in India's Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states, killing at least 33 people and forcing over 4,000 to evacuate to relief camps. Vijayawada has experienced the worst flooding in two decades, with 40% of the city submerged. Telangana's Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has requested the central government to declare the floods a national calamity, citing an estimated loss of ₹5,438 crore and calling for interim relief funds. Meanwhile, Pakistan has also been severely affected, with floods killing five children and bringing the total death toll to at least 300 since July. Experts attribute the increased frequency and severity of these weather events to climate change.
