Overview
- Rainfall in upstream catchment areas has started sending inflows into the twin reservoirs Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar, triggering an operational alert from the water board.
- HMWSSB reported both reservoirs are below Full Tank Level with combined inflows measured at 800 cusecs and provided current level readings for each dam.
- Managing Director K Ashok Reddy ordered the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board to keep continuous watches and told GHMC, Revenue, Police and Hydraa to remain on standby.
- The water board said the public will be notified through media and official channels if officials decide to regulate gates or release water, and it urged downstream residents to follow instructions.
- Residents in low-lying downstream areas were advised to track official updates closely and take precautionary steps now so they can act quickly if authorities issue safety or evacuation orders.
