Due to the floods caused by the torrential rains since yesterday evening, the National Highway 44 is blocked at multiple points. As per the statement by the Nirmal police, the traffic going towards Hyderabad via Kamareddy must take a diversion from Kondapur bridge in Nirmal town and take the slower alternate route via Mamada, Khanapur, Metpalli, Jagtial, and Karimnagar.

The severe rainfall has caused floods in the low-lying areas, and there is a risk of inundation of some nearby residential areas.

The police and the disaster management teams are on high alert, and the citizens are advised to avoid the flooded areas and follow the traffic advisory.

According to Ms. Janaki Sharmila, the SP of Nirmal, "The flood situation may turn worse, and we are constantly monitoring the situation and helping the affected people."
