**Floodwaters from Musi River Submerge Houses Near Chaderghat Following Reservoir Water Release**
Hyderabad witnessed significant flooding as water from the Musi River partially submerged several houses along its banks near Chaderghat. This occurred after 10,439 cusecs of water were released from the twin reservoirs of Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar at 1 PM on Friday.
The floodwater reportedly entered homes in communities including Moosa Nagar, Rasoolpura, Kamal Nagar, and Vinayak Veedhi—areas located close to the Musi River. Visuals from the scene show floodwaters gushing into houses, with residents rushing out in panic, carrying their belongings to safety.
In response, many affected residents were relocated to temporary shelters set up by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). Daily wage earners among those evacuated were accommodated at the Ghode-Ki-Kabar GHMC Community Hall, where authorities have arranged food, medical aid, and other essential services.
Due to the overflow of the Musi River, the Chaderghat Causeway has been closed to traffic. Hyderabad traffic police issued an advisory on X, urging commuters to use the Chaderghat Bridge instead and to plan their travel accordingly.
The heavy rains that triggered this flooding also caused major disruptions to normal life in Hyderabad’s old city on Friday.
**Meteorological Alert**
The Meteorological Department has issued a Red Alert for Sangareddy and Vikarabad districts for September 27, 2025, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance.
**About the Musi River**
The Musi River, also known as the Muchukunda or Musunuru River, is a significant tributary of the Krishna River. It flows through the Deccan Plateau in Telangana and plays an important role in the region’s ecosystem and water management.
