Heavy flood discharge from the Himayatsagar reservoir has inundated the service road of the Outer Ring Road, forcing the authorities to close it down for vehicles. Police erected barricades on either side of the road near Rajendranagar, and are monitoring vehicles.
With continuing influx of storm water into Himayatsagar reservoir, four more gates of the tank have been lifted in addition to the initial two on Saturday, to release more water into the Musi river.
On Friday, two gates of the reservoir were lifted by a foot. By 10 a.m. on Saturday, two more gates were lifted, and by 1 p.m., they were added with two more, to release 4,120 cusecs of water. The inflows stood at 3,500 cusecs.
