The poor infrastructure in our cities and our complete lack of preparedness for climate change and extreme weather events should be our main concern.
But none of our politicians seem concerned https://t.co/rYiGAjG7AI

Fill the ponds, lakes, water body and make cities, cover the cities with full of concrete. Then this is the outcome of it.

Our cities are a mess. Climate change is coming and it’s going to get much much worse. https://t.co/lSxnnuGcpL

Thanks to the heavy rains, many neighbourhoods such as Charminar, Borabanda, Manikonda and Ramachandrapuram saw flooding, which led to traffic congestion. In August, similar scenes were witnessed in Hyderabad as roads got submerged in rainwater. The India Meterological Department has issued a yellow alert (64.5 mm to 115.5 mm of rain) for all seven zones of Hyderabad for Thursday and Friday.
