Following the recent floods caused by the swollen Musi River, water levels have begun to recede across most affected areas, though the damage remains extensive. Neighbourhoods around Chaderghat and Moosarambagh were heavily impacted, with streets muddy and slushy, fallen trees and debris scattered, and homes inundated. Essential household items such as furniture, utensils, clothes, gas cylinders, and cots were displaced, leaving residents struggling to restore normalcy.
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) launched intensive sanitation and relief operations to address the aftermath. Workers cleaned streets, removed debris and silt, and sprayed disinfectants to prevent disease outbreaks. Efforts included dredging and clearing the Musi River near Moosarambagh Bridge, which was inspected by C.N. Raghuprasad, Additional Commissioner (Health & Sanitation), along with the Zonal Commissioner CRZ, JC H&S, AMOH, SS, AEs, and other officials to oversee the restoration work. The stretch from CBS Bin Point to Afzalgunj Bus Stand was also fully cleaned and sanitized.
Temples affected by the floods, including a Shiva temple, were cleared of mud and waste by priests with GHMC support. Relief efforts extended to distributing breakfast to families at Tulasiramnagar Lanka Government School rehabilitation center and in flood-affected slums, coordinated with the AMOH and Deputy Commissioner of Amberpet. Special medical teams were deployed to monitor public health and prevent disease outbreaks in these areas.
A senior GHMC official confirmed that sanitation and relief operations would continue until all flood-hit areas are fully restored, emphasizing the importance of hygiene and disease prevention as residents begin the slow process of cleaning their homes and recovering from the floods.
