Incessant rains have been lashing the State since early hours of Friday leaving several streets and low lying areas flooded in a few districts. Overflowing streams disrupted traffic flow at many places and affected coal production at SCCL opencast mines in Khammam and in Jayashankar Bhupalpally districts.

Traffic on the Koduru – Suryapet route was affected due to overflowing flood waters. The Panal bypass road in Nalgonda town was flooded with rain water, forcing motorists to take detours. Similarly, rains have been lashing parts of Wanaparthy, Narayanpet and Mahabubnagar districts.
