Water Released into Musi River:
The twin reservoirs of Hyderabad, Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar, are facing heavy inflows due to continuous rains in the upper regions. Authorities have released around 6,600 cusecs of water into the Musi River. Osman Sagar, which received an inflow of 1,800 cusecs, had six gates opened to release 2,600 cusecs, while Himayat Sagar, receiving 2,220 cusecs, had four gates opened to release 4,000 cusecs. Officials said more gates will be opened if the rainfall continues, to prevent flooding around the reservoirs and adjoining areas.
