**Musi River Floods Hyderabad, Stranding Families and Disrupting Transportation**
**Hyderabad, India – September 27, 2025 -** Unprecedented flooding of the Musi River has inundated parts of Hyderabad, leaving residents stranded and disrupting transportation networks. A family of four is currently trapped in their home in Rasoolpura Basti, Chaderghat, after the river’s water levels surged unexpectedly overnight.
Authorities from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) are on the scene, closely monitoring the situation. Due to the dangerously strong currents, rescue attempts are currently impossible, but officials are providing food relief to the stranded family via drones.
According to Zonal Commissioner Srinivas Reddy, officials issued evacuation orders on Friday evening due to the release of 35,000 cusecs of water from Osman Sagar and Himayatsagar reservoirs. “We evacuated about 11 families from the same area, but this family refused to move out,” Reddy stated. He noted that other residents who refused to evacuate were able to seek refuge on upper floors of their homes.
However, some local residents dispute the claim of adequate warning. Shaheen Begum, a resident, stated, “Every time even a little water is released from Gandipet, police would come and pressure us to vacate homes immediately. This time, nothing of that sort happened, and we did not imagine that water would rise so high.”
The flooding has forced the closure of several key roads, including Kulsumpura, Chaderghat, and Moosarambagh roads. Bus services have been suspended, and the Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station (MGBS), Telangana’s largest bus station, is currently underwater. Alternative pickup points have been established.
The Chief Minister conducted a midnight review of the situation as the Musi River flooded areas abutting the river and Telangana’s largest bus station.
