Several roads turned into temporary water bodies as rainwater accumulated rapidly. In the IT corridor, especially around Gachibowli and Hitec City, knee-deep water on roads caused massive traffic congestion. Many office-goers were stranded in long queues for hours while attempting to return home.
Floodwater also submerged key underpasses and low-lying stretches near Begumpet Nala, Khairatabad and Malakpet, significantly disrupting vehicle movement. Reports also emerged of two-wheelers being swept away in fast-moving water in some locations.
