Rain turn roads into water pools

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, OCT. 10. Heavy rain lashed several parts of the twin cities on Wednesday evening catching people unawares and creating traffic snarls at various places.

The heavy downpour that lasted for nearly two hours left several main roads like the Raj Bhavan road, Basheerbagh and Masab tank, submerged in waist deep water. Rainwater entered the Phoolbagh slum, besides the Basheerbagh flyover.

The usual spectacle of huge traffic hold-ups and roads under sheets of water unfolded again. Vehicles moved at a snail's pace and traffic on important thoroughfares like Begumpet, Somajiguda, Basheerbagh, Lakdikapul eased only after a few agonising hours after the downpour.
