Heavy overnight rainfall beginning around 1.40 am lashed Hyderabad early Thursday, causing severe waterlogging and traffic disruption in Lingampally, Chandanagar and Serilingampally.

Rainfall recorded: University of Hyderabad 148.5 mm, MMTS Lingampally 114 mm, Chandanagar 109.8 mm. In contrast, Secunderabad, Golconda and LB Nagar saw under 10 mm.

Lingampally railway underpass turned into a waterbody, blocking traffic during peak hours on both sides. In Chandanagar, floodwaters entered shopping complex cellars along the national highway, damaging stores. Nallagandla's Tellapur-Nallagandla Road was inundated after evening rains, stranding residents in gated communities. Kondapur saw two-wheelers stuck in knee-deep water.

GHMC's disaster response force deployed across affected zones including Santosh Nagar, Champapet and Kondapur to clear drains and pump water. HYDRAA commissioner A.V. Ranganath visited flood-prone sites including Lingampally railway underpass and Kasoros Apartments, identifying lack of drainage routes from upstream areas into Gopi Cheruvu as causing severe backflow. Officials directed to lower water levels in Gopi Cheruvu and Chakali Cheruvu and speed up stormwater canal construction in Bachupally.

In Upparapally, an internal link drain was dug and operationalised within 12 hours to protect Ashok Vihar Colony, which had faced flooding for seven years.

IMD issued yellow alert till June 14 for continued light to moderate rain and gusty winds. Officials flagged concerns over urban runoff and blocked lakes. Residents urged long-term drainage upgrades near Gopi Cheruvu and Palle Cheruvu.

Hyderabad’s MMTS, run by South Central Railway with the Telangana government since 2003, serves Hyderabad and Secunderabad on three core corridors, with Medchal and Umdanagar extensions. It has around 29 stations on the core network, plus stations on the extensions. Services run roughly 4:30 am–12:30 am; check NTES or South Central Railway for revised schedules.

Minimum fares are around ₹5; First Class fares start at about ₹25. First Class suburban fares were rationalised, roughly halving single-journey fares. Season tickets are available; passengers must carry photo ID with the pass. RailOne is the official ticketing app after UTS was discontinued in March 2026. R-Wallet balances carry over when users register with the same mobile number; wallet payments earn a discount on unreserved tickets.

MMTS and Hyderabad Metro tickets are not interchangeable. Interchange options include Secunderabad, Begumpet and the Hitech City area. Hitech City and Hafeezpet serve the IT corridor; Lingampally is the western terminus, while Hyderabad (Nampally) serves the central city and Kacheguda connects to southern long-distance services. The western section is busiest during peak hours; frequency drops off-peak, and monsoon delays may occur.

Candeur Developers received the Occupancy Certificate for Candeur Crescent, a high-rise residential project in Serilingampally, Hyderabad. Vinay Mantrigari, senior general manager of Sales, Marketing and CRM at Candeur, announced the milestone. Residents are preparing to move in.

Registered under Telangana RERA (P02500004515), the OC confirms compliance with approved plans and fitness for occupation, enabling permanent utility connections and formal handover processes.

A fire broke out Thursday morning in construction workers’ quarters at the under-construction Candeur Crescent condominium near Lingampally railway station in Hyderabad.

The Gachibowli fire department received the alert at 11:53 am. Three fire tenders from Gachibowli, Madhapur and Patancheru extinguished the fire after two hours. Firefighters remained until 4 pm as earthmovers cleared debris.
