Mild tension prevailed in Adilabad on Thursday when police detained BRS activists staging a sit-in at Jainath mandal centre, demanding action to prevent rainwater from entering their houses.
Residents, affected by waterlogging, said that rainwater had entered their homes, causing severe inconvenience. They blamed the flooding on the
increased height of a road, which was recently raised as part of a road-widening project.
Families from the affected area staged a protest along with the BRS and laid siege to the road, urging officials to implement preventive measures. However, police foiled the protest by forcibly removing the protesters and detaining them in a police vehicle.
