Hyderabad Flood Relief

After weeks of scorching heat, Hyderabad saw heavy rainfall, along with strong winds and lightning, early Wednesday morning. Though a welcome relief from the heat wave sweeping through Telangana, the rains have inundated several parts of the city.

The BJP today promised financial assistance of Rs 25,000 for each family affected by the recent rains in the city, free electricity to families which consume less than 100 units and free travel for women in city buses and metro trains among others, in its manifesto for the civic polls in Hyderabad.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and the BJP have been at a war of words with each other over the lack of Central relief for the state in the wake of last month's heavy floods. The state government had informed the Centre that a preliminary assessment had shown losses of up to Rs9,000 crore due to the floods in October.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today announced Rs 10,000 as immediate relief to each flood-affected household in the city, besides an assistance of Rs one lakh each to totally damaged houses and Rs 50,000 to partially damaged ones.

A local corporator's daring night-time rescue of a man in flood-hit Hyderabad has earned him high praise on the internet, including Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao.

The weather department has downgraded the 48-hour high alert in Telangana from red to yellow as it has stopped raining after three days. However, the continuous and heavy rains have left northern and eastern parts of the state, especially Warangal, flooded prompting the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao-led administration review the disaster relie...
