Moderate showers in Hyderabad on Monday evening created heavy water-logging at key roads bringing traffic to a standstill again, this time too most noticeably along the IT corridor. The heavy waterlogging even forced the Cyberbad traffic police to issue a traffic advisory for those commuting towards JNTU, suggesting commuters to adopt alternate routes.
Due to the heavy waterlogging observed near Shilparamam, the Cyberabad police have advised commuters heading towards JNTU to opt for alternate routes, like through Kothaguda - Kondapur - Miyapur Alwin - Miyapur X road - JNTU.
