The Hussain Sagar (Tankbund) is now full and that is a real big danger. There is a high inflow as it continues to pour and there is only one outlet canal (made narrow over years by land grabbers) already in full flow and many densly populated colonies on either side of it. We are keeping our fingers crossed because this government has no contingency plans except announcing ex-gratia. Pray for the rains to stop and pray for Hyderabad, friends.

Sorry I am not praying for the rains to stop for a week at least. Do you not care for the water table of the city? Areas that will be submerged had never had a right to be colonized in the first place.

Agreed mister. But dont you forget you live in Hyderabad too (and worse if u are not and making remarks like this) I guess you must be one of those snobby residents of banjara hills who drive around in sedans and dont give a damn about water clogging becuz your bungalow is safe. Your water table statement is preposterous.You wouldnt have said that if ur home is flooded with water!!! You sound like a bloody fascist.

Sorry son. No one will pray for Hyderabadis. You guys were arrogant about your so called progress in IT and Real Estate. Little did you realize that great cities are built on sound infrastruture and a thriving common identity for all who live in it. You aped the west, you boasted you over-night progress(?). One CM after the other did not learn the lesson. A city which is built on low ethics, fraudulent business practices and shaky values. Less said the better about the rowdy MLAs and MPs (one of them recently shot in the air to disperse the police who were quelling a mob). Die painfully. India will be a much better place without Hyderabad.
