Mulugu: Heavy rains are lashing Telangana. Many projects including Kadem are running at dangerous levels. Village after village is drowning due to heavy rains and floods. Warangal, one of the largest cities in Telangana, was flooded. The intersections resemble reservoirs. Main roads have turned into huge canals.

Torrential downpours have caused rivers to overflow, resulting in the complete submergence of low-lying areas. The relentless floods have brought vehicular traffic to a standstill as roads are inundated with floodwater. Particularly in the vicinity of Warangal, numerous bridges have been submerged due to the continuous deluge.

The situation turned dire for the residents of Kondai village in Eturu Nagaram mandal of Mulugu district, where the entire village was engulfed by floodwater.
