Heavy rain battered several districts of northern and eastern Telangana on July 29, 2026, prompting authorities to step up flood monitoring and issue public advisories. The districts of Mulugu, Peddapalli, Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Mancherial, and Karimnagar recorded intense rainfall between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.
According to data from the Telangana Development Planning Society, Eturunagaram in Mulugu district recorded the highest rainfall in the state at 122.8 mm, followed by 115.3 mm in Wazeed, 100.8 mm in Kannaigudem, 92.8 mm in Kunaram, 92.3 mm in Mutharam Mahadevpur, 82.3 mm in Jaipur, and 76.5 mm in Gundi.
The heavy rainfall caused damage to infrastructure, with the flood-damaged diversion road across the Isuka Vagu between Cheekupalli and Peddagollagudem villages in Wajedu mandal being washed away. The damage led to the temporary suspension of vehicular movement on National Highway 163, which connects Telangana with Chhattisgarh. Mulugu district Collector B. Hemant Sahadeorao inspected the damage and directed officials to restore the alternative route as soon as floodwaters recede.
District administrations in other rain-hit regions also issued advisories to residents. Jagtial District Collector B. Satya Prasad urged the public to remain vigilant and avoid unnecessary travel during the spell of heavy rainfall. He advised residents, particularly those living in low-lying areas, to exercise caution and avoid venturing near streams, rivulets, and ponds, where water levels could rise rapidly due to continuous rainfall.
In contrast to the widespread rainfall across Telangana, Hyderabad remained largely dry through the afternoon, with no significant rainfall reported in the city till 3 p.m.
