Hyderabad: More than 1,500 people in 300 houses adjoining the Osman Nagar Lake were rendered homeless after water overflowed from the lake and swamped homes.
On Tuesday, the residents of Osman Nagar on the city’s fringes were seen wading through knee-deep water in an attempt to shift their valuables to a safer place, while some of them were helplessly waiting for the water level to go down.
“Since the last floods, we hardly had any respite from this situation. The entire area gets inundated and our houses are flooded with water after every spell of rain. Due to multiple incidents of inundation, the foundations of our houses are gradually deteriorating,” said Afreen Begum, whose house is surrounded by slush and sewage from the overflowing drains in the area.
As the monsoon keeps them on tenterhooks, angry locals alleged that the civic authorities have ignored their pleas requesting the officials to drain out excess water and provide a permanent solution to the problem.
