The rain never stopped falling on parts of Hyderabad, which led to a lot of flooding and traffic jams in the Telangana city. Because it was raining so hard, the district office closed all schools on Monday.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hyderabad district collector Anudeep Durishetty said, “Important Announcement: Due to the forecast of heavy rain in Hyderabad, the government has closed all schools in Hyderabad today.” Stay inside to be safe.”

Mancherial, Jagityal, Rajanna Sirsilla, Karimnagar, Peddapally, Jayashankar Bhupalapally, Mahabubnagar, Nagarkurnool, and Wanaparthi are also on orange watch for today.
The commissioner of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has asked people to stay inside unless there is an emergency. This is because more than 3,000 city workers are out in the streets making sure that flooded areas are cleared. Citizens have also been given a number to call for help if they need it.
