Persistent rainfall over the past 24 hours has led to a significant rise in the river’s flow, particularly at the Chaderghat bridge, prompting the GHMC to urge residents to stay indoors for their safety.

The GHMC’s advisory aims to mitigate potential hazards and ensure public safety as the city navigates through this adverse weather condition. With forecasts indicating that the heavy rains might persist, residents are advised to remain vigilant and adhere to safety instructions to avoid any unforeseen incidents. the surge in Musi River levels at Chaderghat has prompted the GHMC to take preemptive measures to safeguard residents.
