In a heart-wrenching tragedy, the unforgiving force of nature claimed seven precious lives, among them, a tender four-year-old child. The somber tale unfolded in Bachupally, where an under-construction apartment bore the brunt of relentless rain, its towering retaining wall collapsing under the weight of the downpour.
Bachupally’s weary streets echoed with sorrow as the news of the calamity spread like wildfire. The victims, migrant workers hailing from the distant lands of Odisha and Chhattisgarh, met their untimely demise on a fateful Tuesday evening. It wasn’t until the break of dawn on Wednesday that their lifeless forms were tenderly extricated from the rubble, a grim task undertaken by diligent hands and the relentless whir of an excavator.
The tempestuous rain, a relentless adversary, wreaked havoc across the cityscape, plunging swathes of Telangana into disarray. Streets once bustling with life now lay submerged, a testament to nature’s indomitable fury. As the city grappled with the aftermath, the Disaster Relief Force (DRF) sprang into action, their tireless efforts aimed at alleviating the plight of the beleaguered populace.
Amidst the chaos, figures of authority emerged, striving to bring order to the chaos. Principal Secretary Danakishore, in tandem with GHMC Commissioner Ronald Rose, traversed the waterlogged terrain, their presence a beacon of hope amidst the gloom. Their directives echoed through the sodden streets, guiding the DRF teams in their valiant efforts to restore normalcy to the ravaged cityscape.
