By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, OCT. 7. The popular picnic spot of Himayathsagar was brimming with people flocking to watch the water gushing out of the reservoir on Sunday. The inflows into the reservoir following heavy rains during the last week led to the authorities opening the crest gates today.

People in large numbers including children and the elderly lined up along the bund and watched the water flowing out of the reservoir. The nearby Osmansagar reservoir which also received good inflows in the last one week too attracted large crowds on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the problems of waterlogging and inundation continued to affect the normal life in several parts of the City. The Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad Control Room received several complaints of waterlogging from Khairtabad, Lakdi-ka-pul, Gandhi Bhavan, Bilal Nagar, Rajeev Gandhi Nagar and parts of Uppal. The MCH teams worked till late in the night clearing these places of waterlogging.
