Tuesday morning's very strong downpour wreaked havoc on the city once more, with cases of individuals being washed away in sewers, walls collapsing, waterlogging, traffic bottlenecks, and municipal problems resurfacing for both citizens and officials. The downpour overflowed numerous colonies. The areas of Chintal, Tolichowki, Seven Tombs, Shaikpet, Deen Dayalnagar, Manikonda, Miyapur, Swarnapuri Colony, Allwyn Colony, Medchal, and Maisammaguda in Srinivasnagar that were most severely impacted were.

At mallareddy College, the situation was grave as water penetrated the multi-story structure, causing panic among students and particularly dormitory occupants. They were relocated to safer areas after being successfully evacuated. Balkampet Bridge was inundated due to the rain, and Saroornagar locals risked the knee-deep water to cross it. Videos showing waterlogging at the Erragadda Metro Station shocked internet users with their lack of facilities.

The worst impacted residents were those who lived in anjali Gardens in Manikonda, where the water level was around four feet high. Additionally, there was severe flooding in the areas next to the recently opened VST steel overpass. As the gates of the twin reservoirs Osmansagar and Himayatsagar opened on Tuesday, residents in low-lying regions along the Musi river's banks were informed. At the Osmansagar, six gates with a height of up to two feet were raised, recording an inflow of 1,500 cusecs and an outflow of 1,380 cusecs. In addition, four of Himayatsagar's gates were opened, raising the outflow from 4,000 cusecs to 2,746 cusecs.

In response to concerns from Quthbullapur's Ayodhyanagar and IDPL, according to ghmc representatives, housing for the homeless was set up at Goshamahal's Chudi Bazaar. According to officials, up to 42 individuals from 16 families were relocated from beneath the MJ and shivaji bridges to the refuge.

The Disaster Response Force (DRF) reported receiving 53 complaints, of which 45 were addressed, including 28 waterlogging concerns, 20 tree falls, and two wall collapses. They said that a corpse was found and that an ambulance and a bus had been saved.
