🌧️ Over the past two days, heavy monsoon rains and floods have wreaked havoc in southern India and Pakistan, claiming the lives of at least 33 people in India and five children in Pakistan, authorities reported on Tuesday.
In India's Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states, torrential downpours caused houses to collapse and swept them away, while floods disrupted road and rail traffic. The weather service has issued a red alert for 11 districts, predicting more rain in the region, according to Telangana's top bureaucrat, Shanta Kumari.
Since Monday, over 4,000 people have been moved to 110 government-run relief camps in Telangana, stated the state's chief minister, A. Revanth Reddy. Overflowing lakes, tanks, and streams have cut off some villages in the Mahabubnagar and Nalgonda districts.
The situation remains critical, and local authorities are working tirelessly to provide relief and safety to the affected communities. Our thoughts are with those impacted by this natural disaster. 🙏
