CM Revanth Reddy Reviews Musi River Overflow

Heavy overnight rainfall has left hundreds homeless in Hyderabad as the Musi River overflowed, inundating low-lying areas on Friday night. Sudden flooding caught residents of several areas off guard. 

Overflow from the Himayatsagar reservoir, filled by rain in Vikarabad, caused water to submerge the Chaderghat area. 

Low-lying neighborhoods such as Lower Chaderghat and Moosarambagh saw bridges inundated, forcing closures and evacuation of



residents.

The Musi River is currently flowing at high speed, with outflows reaching 22,000 cusecs overnight. Officials warn that outflows may rise to 30,000–35,000 cusecs today, which is about one-third of the 2020 flood level. Authorities have urged people living along the riverbanks to stay safe.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy assessed the flood situation along the Musi River, which is in spate due to incessant rains and the release of water from the overflowing Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar reservoirs.
