Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy directed all departments to stay on high alert and ensure swift relief operations. The Police, HYDRAA and Traffic Department were asked to deploy teams in waterlogged areas, while GHMC and the Energy Department were instructed to restore normalcy in affected neighborhoods.
