HYDERABAD: The first monsoon downpour itself exposed the under-preparedness of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) as the southern parts of the city which received around 11-55 mm of rainfall in a short span of 1-2 hours early on Wednesday morning, were crippled with waterlogging.
The worst affected areas were Chandrayanguta, Falaknuma and Attapur which had been marooned similarly during the October 2020 floods. The routine waterlogging point at Attapur Pillar 191, Falaknuma Bridge and other areas despite years of complaints, continued to be waterlogged leading to traffic snarls as the early morning peak hours coincided with the rains.
