Hyderabad Heavy Rain Advisory: Police Urge Work‑from‑Home, Early Logout
The city of Hyderabad is getting a lot of rain, so the police asked companies to let people work from home and leave the office early.
They want to keep traffic from getting too crowded and make sure emergency services can still help people.
Police officers checked busy intersections to make sure cars could move safely.
They also told people to stay away from open manholes and broken power lines, and to drive slowly on wet roads.
The advice came after the weather office said it would rain a lot in the next few days.
Hyderabad police urged companies to allow work‑from‑home and staggered early logouts from 2 pm on July 30.
The advisory aimed to reduce traffic congestion, protect commuters, and keep emergency services operational during forecasted heavy rainfall.
Police inspected key junctions (Punjagutta, Khairtabad) and directed traffic personnel to ensure smooth vehicular movement and prevent rain‑related congestion.
Citizens were warned to stay away from open manholes, snapped power lines, and electric poles, and to drive slowly on waterlogged roads.
The advisory followed a forecast by the India Meteorological Department for moderate to heavy rainfall across Hyderabad and Telangana.
