Telangana Critical Weather Alert: IMD Issues 48-Hour Heavy Rain Warning

CM Revanth Reddy Puts Entire State on High Alert - Orders Evacuations and Relief Camps

Published: September 26, 2025, 4:51 PM IST Category: Weather Emergency

Alert Duration: 48 Hours Critical Warning Affected Area: Entire Telangana State

HYDERABAD - The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a critical 48-hour heavy rain warning for Telangana state, prompting Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to put the entire state on high alert. The unprecedented weather emergency has triggered comprehensive disaster preparedness measures including evacuations, relief camp establishments, and coordination with multiple emergency response agencies across all districts.

The meteorological forecast predicts severe thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds ranging from 40-50 kmph, with heavy to very heavy rainfall expected to continue through the weekend. The weather system, originating from a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, poses significant risks to urban areas, particularly Greater Hyderabad, and rural districts already experiencing intermittent rainfall throughout September.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy convened an emergency cabinet meeting with senior officials, including the Chief Secretary, Director General of Police, and heads of various disaster management agencies. The state government has activated all district collectors and ordered the immediate establishment of relief camps in vulnerable areas, with special attention to low-lying regions prone to waterlogging and urban flooding.

The aviation sector faces unprecedented disruptions with multiple flights scheduled to land at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport Hyderabad being cancelled or diverted to Vijayawada. Airport authorities are working closely with airlines to minimize passenger inconvenience while prioritizing safety protocols. The Hyderabad Metro Rail has also issued comprehensive advisories regarding potential service modifications.

Information Technology companies across Hyderabad's HITEC City, Gachibowli, and other major IT corridors have been officially advised to implement work-from-home policies for employees due to expected severe traffic congestion and transportation challenges. Major corporations including Microsoft, Google, Amazon, TCS, and Infosys have already activated remote work protocols for the next 48-72 hours.

Educational institutions across the state remain on high alert, with authorities prepared to announce immediate closures if weather conditions deteriorate further. The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has deployed additional emergency response teams and is continuously monitoring route conditions to ensure passenger safety throughout the crisis period.
