Over the weekend, the city of Hyderabad in Telangana was hit by a fierce storm that caused widespread damage and devastation. The rain was accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning, resulting in the unfortunate deaths of 13 people in various parts of the state.
The heavy downpour and strong gales wreaked havoc in several districts, including the capital city of Hyderabad. The severe cyclonic storm Remal, which was brewing in the Bay of Bengal, had a major impact on the weather conditions in Telangana, causing immense destruction.
Among the districts, Nagarkurnool was hit the hardest, with seven fatalities reported. In Hyderabad, four people lost their lives, while two deaths were recorded in Medak. The strong gales were responsible for causing widespread damage in Nagarkurnool, Medak, Ranga Reddy, Medchal Malkajgiri, and Nalgonda districts.
In Nagarkurnool alone, four lives were lost when an under-construction poultry shed collapsed due to the force of the storm. Among the victims were a father and his daughter, along with two construction workers. The incident also left four others injured.
Tragically, three more deaths were reported in the same district, with two of them being caused by lightning strikes. In Shamirpet, on the outskirts of Hyderabad, two individuals were killed when a tree fell on them while they were riding a motorcycle. The victims were identified as Dhananjay and Nagireddy Rami Reddy.
In another unfortunate incident, two men named Mohammed Rasheed and Mohammed Samad lost their lives in Hafeezpet, Hyderabad, when bricks from a neighboring house's roof fell on them due to the strong gales.
The storm also caused chaos in other districts, such as Mahabubnagar, Jogulamba-Gadwal, Wanaparthy, Yadadri-Bhongir, Sangareddy, and Vikarabad. The power supply was disrupted in many areas, as the storm caused transmission and distribution lines to snap. Falling tree branches, damaged poles, and debris also added to the chaos.
Hoardings, cell towers, and debris were seen strewn across roads and houses in some places, further adding to the destruction caused by the storm. The state authorities are working tirelessly to restore normalcy and provide assistance to those affected by the disaster.
