Hyderabad: In the wake of heavy rain, city police commissioner V.C. Sajjanar, on Thurday advised citizens to remain vigilant and take precautions. He advised residents to constantly monitor weather updates and alerts issued by the meteorological department and plan their daily travel accordingly.
Sajjanar inspected the traffic flow and road conditions at key intersections, including Panjagutta and Khairatabad junctions. He issued instructions to the personnel on duty to ensure the smooth movement of vehicles and minimise issues caused by the rainfall.
Sajjanar said the police were working in close coordination with the GHMC and other line departments to prevent any hardship to the public. He said field-level staff would remain constantly deployed to manage traffic situations effectively.
He also advised citizens to stay away from open manholes, snapped power lines, and electric poles during heavy downpours. Sajjanar cautioned commuters to reduce their speed and drive with extreme care near low-lying waterlogged areas and flyovers.
With the IMD predicting heavy rainfall over the next two days, the commissioner appealed to residents to avoid stepping out of their homes during rainy spells unless there is an urgent need.
