Govt must take immediate steps to close Garba dandiya by 12 mid night. So that participants can return home safely.

Illegal occupation by special people - they encroach naalas - they don t pay power bills ... hence the same party keeps winning as they support this special community - hence enjoy.

I live in Muthangi Hyderabad, water is overflowing from last 48 hours from a lake and no authority is doing anything ..we are stuck..pls help.

Poor drainage, lack of investment in civil infrastructure, illegal construction, depletion of natural water reservoirs, climate change and many factors.

Seems like Mother Nature showing its Warth due to past few days actions in city.
