On July 23, despite heavy rains, two individuals went fishing at the LMD reservoir in Karimnagar district and tragically drowned, police reported. On the same day, a 20-year-old man was struck and killed by lightning while riding his two-wheeler in Wazeedu mandal, Mulugu district.

Meanwhile, many parts of Telangana experienced widespread rainfall on Friday. Bompalli in Karimnagar district recorded 107 mm of rain by the afternoon, followed by 14.3 mm in Uppal, Hyderabad, according to the Telangana Development Planning Society.

The IMD’s Meteorological Centre in Hyderabad forecasted light to moderate rain or thundershowers across most parts of Telangana from Friday afternoon until Saturday morning. They also warned of heavy rainfall in isolated areas like Adilabad and Kumram Bheem Asifabad during this period.
