Telangana Flood Update: IMD Issues Red Alert
Telangana, including its capital Hyderabad, has been severely affected by heavy rainfall and flooding over the past several days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for several districts, including Adilabad, Nizamabad and Mahabubnagar, warning of very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall in isolated areas until Monday morning.
The persistent rainfall is attributed to a depression over the north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha coasts, which moved northwestwards and crossed Andhra Pradesh's coast near Kalingapatnam early on Sunday.
