In telangana, the past two days had seen heavy rains and flooding take 17 lives, while 10 more were missing and searches were ongoing for them. Unusual rains in north telangana regions caused flash floods that flooded over 100 villages, severed road connections, interfered with electricity, and harmed agricultural crops. In the mulugu area, which was most severely hit, eight individuals were washed away. On Friday, their bodies were found.

Each of the two districts of khammam and hanamkonda reported three fatalities. While one fatality was recorded from the Jayashankar Bhupalapally area, mahabubabad saw the deaths of two people. In separate occurrences, ten more people were lost in the water, and searches were ongoing to find them. The relatives of the deceased will receive financial help totaling Rs. 4 lakh, and Rs. 25,000 will be disbursed right away, according to Tribal Welfare minister Satyavati Rathore.

On Friday, many villages and dozens of colonies in the cities of warangal and hanamkonda were still under water. A prominent road that is fully inundated can be seen in drone footage of warangal and Hanamkonda. To rescue trapped persons, rescuers used motor boats. As the recent severe rains that have pounded the state have begun to abate, Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari has ordered the district Collectors to take decisive action to stop the spread of infectious illnesses in the flood-affected districts.

In order to discuss the relief and rehabilitative measures, she convened a teleconference with the Collectors. The district Collectors, police, and district administration in the flood-affected districts have all worked together to minimise the loss of life and property thus far, and the Chief Secretary welcomed this. Anjani Kumar, the director general of police, reported that about 19,000 individuals had been relocated to safer areas in various districts with the assistance of the local government. He added that top police officials have been dispatched to monitor the situation and that special control rooms have been set up in a number of areas.

According to Rajat Kumar, Special Chief Secretary for Irrigation, the state's efforts to repair broken tanks and ponds are in full flow. Despite several districts seeing the state's worst rainfall ever, according to Disaster Management Secretary rahul Bojja, the damage was minimised thanks to the combined efforts of the NDRF and the local machinery.
