At the prospect of rain for four or five more days as forecast by the India Meteorological Department, the State government has ordered that none of its officers go on leave for the next one week.

The rain on Saturday resulted in swelling of streams in several places of Telangana and heavy flooding of roads in Hyderabad. A health worker, M. Bhaskar, met a watery grave while crossing a stream on a two-wheeler at Kondapaka tehsil office in Medak district.

A lorry was left hanging on the parapet of Manjira river bridge at Raipalli village of Manur mandal in Medak district, after the driver lost control of the vehicle. The driver and the cleaner jumped off onto the bridge.

As Manjira flowed menacingly all around them in Papannapet mandal, 20 construction workers of Madhya Pradesh and Odisha gathered on an elevated area in Edupalaya.

The authorities made arrangements to bring them ashore. A tractor was washed away in the overflowed Bangaruguda stream in Adilabad.

The managements of private schools kept the institutes open in some places, though the government had declared holiday.

A school bus was stuck in water with around 40 children at Dharani Nagar in Kukatpally here. It was stated that the driver ignored the warning of locals to not go as the water level was quite high.

A two-wheeler driver slipped into an open manhole with the vehicle at Srinivasnagar in Nizampet, but he was rescued by locals.
