The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a heavy rain alert on Tuesday for 16 districts in Telangana, including the capital Hyderabad.

Meteorologists predict rainfall of 50–100 mm over the next 24 hours, with the heaviest showers likely over the western and central districts. Residents are advised to avoid traveling on major roads, especially the Outer Ring Road, and to secure loose outdoor items. Local authorities have set up emergency response teams and are monitoring river levels for potential flooding.
