Bandlaguda in Uppal received the highest rainfall at 20.6 cm
Torrential rain overnight has left behind a trail of destruction in the city by Thursday morning, reminding people of the devastating floods in October last year. Several localities were flooded, forcing people to spend sleepless nights as rainwater entered homes. The eastern part of the city recording the highest of 20.6 centimetres of rainfall has taken the maximum brunt where overflowing lakes have drowned the surrounding areas. Colonies in East Anandbagh, a locality in Malkajgiri area, which are flooded every time there is a rain, experienced the same yet again. Ayyappa Colony in Bandlaguda, a chronic inundation point, has received abundant flows from upstream of Bandlaguda lake by dint of its location inside the Full Tank Level.
The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
