When world population was 300 crores, then Flood was not ferocious. Now world population at 810 crores we are witnessing cruelty of Flood.
This is the clear result of clearing 100 acres of Kancha Gachibowli forest for the IT park.
Flood is expected but should not last long like this. Look like GHMC is sleeping. They didn't clean/open the drains this year.
God please let us fast forward to 2026 already. 2025 is horrible.
