Hyderabad: Residents of Methodist Colony in Begumpet have alleged that illegal constructions are blocking the natural flow of rainwater into stormwater drains, leaving their locality inundated after every spell of rain. Floodwater from Begumpet Railway Station, Country Club, and Kundanbagh reportedly stagnates in the colony, submerging nearly 660 homes and surrounding apartments. The colony welfare association said repeated complaints to multiple departments had gone unanswered and demanded immediate clearance of obstructions to prevent further damage. HYDRAA Prajavani grievance platform received as many as 29 complaints, most of them relating to nala encroachments and flooding. They said the narrowing has resulted in sewage water flowing into the mosque during rains, while neighboring localities are also suffering from prolonged water stagnation.
