We evacuated about 11 families from the same area, but this family refused to move out.

He said no rescue efforts could be made now, as the flow in the river is dangerously high. However, food relief is being provided to the stranded families through drones, he said.

Local residents alleged that they had not received any alert about the rising water levels, though authorities claim that they began rescue and rehabilitation efforts by Friday evening.

“Every time even a little water is released from Gandipet, police would come and pressure us to vacate homes immediately. This time, nothing of that sort happened, and we did not imagine that water would rise so high. Several families are stranded on rooftops and on first and second floors with many children. Relief has not yet come,” complained Shaheen Begum, a resident.
