The downpour led to inundation of several low-lying areas and traffic moved at a snail's pace due to water-logging at different places in the city.

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) said its personnel have been pressed into service to flush out stagnated water and to take up other relief works. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who spoke to GHMC Commissioner and the city police commissioner, urged the official machinery to be on alert throughout the night, a release from Rao's office said. He directed the officials to take up relief works and respond to problems wherever they occurred, it said.
