Hyderabad, a tech hub and Telangana's capital, witnessed a nightmare for commuters and residents due to a portion of the Moosarambagh Bridge collapsing overnight. The bridge, a crucial connector between Hyderabad and the tech-hub of Hyderabad, Cyberabad, suffered damage due to the flooding of the Musi River.

The entire bridge will have to be demolished and rebuilt, expected to cost a significant amount and take many months to reconstruct. Residents and politicians have voiced their concerns and frustration over the apparent lack of flood management and urban planning.

Experts have linked the worsening of floods in the region to climate change and warn that similar disasters may occur more frequently and with greater severity unless concrete action is taken. The South India floods have also impacted the states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

Anirudh Rama, a local environmental activist, argues that "a lack of concern for nature and the ecosystem has exacerbated the issue. Urbanization and the resulting pollution have caused floods to become more frequent."

Authorities have begun to investigate the situation and have called for emergency reinforcements to occur quickly.

Comments from residents and political figures are being sought regarding the disaster and the city's future preparedness.
