Hyd Met Centre predicts rains for next two days

Hyderabad: For the past four to five days, Telangana has been experiencing continuous rainfall. Some districts are witnessing heavy rains, while others are seeing persistent drizzle. The relentless downpour has caused streams and rivers to overflow, and reservoirs are now full.
