Musi River Surge Floods Hyderabad’s Main Bus Station After Reservoir Releases

Bus operations shifted to alternate city points due to a waterlogged hub.

Overview

  • Authorities opened 24 gates at Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar, releasing about 35,000 cusecs late Friday and sending the Musi into spate.
  • Roughly 1,000 residents from low-lying colonies in Chaderghat and nearby areas were moved to relief camps where food and essentials are being provided.
  • Floodwater entered Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station, HYDRAA and GHMC teams with police and fire services rescued trapped passengers, and TGSRTC diverted services across the city.
  • A family in Rasoolpura Basti that declined evacuation is being monitored closely, with officials delivering food by drone as conditions remain hazardous.
  • The Chaderghat causeway was submerged, an under-construction high-level bridge suffered damage and lost materials, and the IMD signaled isolated heavy rain that could sustain upstream inflows.
