Chemical Foam Covers Hyderabad Streets After Heavy Rain

Amid heavy rains that lashed the city a day ago, heavy chemical foam accumulated on the streets of Shirdi Nagar and Dharani Nagar of Kukatpally on Wednesday.

The foam had collected due to the heavy rains on Tuesday.

Locals said that sewer passing beside the colonies got mixed with chemical waste from the industries nearby and the foam was formed by the rainwater reacting to the chemicals.

The foam formed due to heavy rains caused a lot of inconvenience to the local people. According to the locals, the local body authorities visited the place and inspected the place yesterday evening.
