Sajjanar Urges Citizens to Stay Alert amid Heavy Rain Forecast

He emphasized that the public should constantly monitor weather updates and alerts issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and plan their daily travel accordingly to avoid inconvenience.

On Thursday, Sajjanar personally inspected the traffic flow and road conditions at key intersections, including Panjagutta and Khairatabad junctions. During the inspection, he issued key instructions to the personnel on duty to ensure the smooth movement of vehicles and minimize gridlock caused by the rainfall.

Speaking on the occasion, the Commissioner stated that the police department is working in close coordination with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and all other line departments to prevent any hardship to the public.

He assured that field-level staff will remain constantly deployed to manage traffic situations effectively. He also advised citizens to stay away from open manholes, snapped power lines, and electric poles during heavy downpours. Furthermore, commuters were cautioned to reduce their speed and drive with extreme care near low-lying waterlogged areas and flyovers.

With the IMD predicting heavy rainfall over the next two days, the Police Commissioner appealed to residents to avoid stepping out of their homes during rainy spells unless there is an urgent need.

In case of emergencies or for traffic assistance, citizens are urged to contact Emergency Response Services at Dial 100. He further requested everyone to strictly follow the traffic advisories regularly updated by the Hyderabad City Traffic Police through social media and traditional news channels to ensure safe travel.
