The city of Hyderabad grappled with extensive traffic congestion on Thursday as heavy rainfall inundated roads, particularly in areas like Gachibowli, Mindspace, Kondapur, Kukatpally, and the Kothaguda junction. Commuters found themselves trapped in bumper-to-bumper traffic jams, with some struggling to move even short distances due to the blockade.
Videos circulating on social media captured the chaotic scenes, including vehicles inching along at a snail's pace near the IKEA roundabout, highlighting the challenging conditions faced by commuters.
In response to the situation, the Cyberabad Traffic Police issued an advisory via their official channels, informing citizens about the prevailing weather conditions. They noted that while heavy rains were subsiding, steady light to moderate showers were expected to persist for the next 1-1.5 hours. Commuters were urged to plan their travel accordingly in light of the ongoing rainfall and traffic disruptions.
