By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, AUG. 9. Heavy rain lashed the twin cities for the second time in the last three days flooding low-lying areas, inundating the main thoroughfares and causing traffic jams all over, yet again.

The incessant rain which started in the morning continued till evening affecting the commuters, particularly students and office-goers. At several places, people had to wade through knee- deep water even as stranded motorists had a tough time trying to start their vehicles.

With water overflowing on the roads, traffic at Ameerpet, Greenlands, Begumpet, Somajiguda, Khairatabad, Masab Tank, Toli Chowki, Paradise, M.G. Road, Himayatnagar, Lumbini Park Junction almost came to a standstill. People drenched to the bone was a common sight on all the roads.

The condition of the lanes and bylanes in several low-lying areas was worse with water entering the houses also.
