Heavy rain lashes Telangana, IMD red alert in 5 districts; Cyberabad IT firms advised WFH

After enduring a prolonged dryness, Telangana received significant rainfall, much to the relief of the farming community. The state's rainfall deficit has grown narrower, although a few districts continue to battle shortages. Several northern regions are under heavy rainfall warnings, with expectations of very heavy downpours. Light to moderate rain is also in the forecast, prompting work-from-home recommendations for Hyderabad, as waterlogging and swollen rivers disrupt the routine for residents.
