Hyderabad Rains Wreak Havoc: NH-44 Severely Damaged in Kamareddy, Major Traffic Diversions Issued

Heavy monsoon rains have once again brought parts of Telangana to a standstill, with the crucial National Highway 44 (NH-44) bearing the brunt of nature's fury. The highway, a vital link for commuters, has suffered significant damage in the Kamareddy district, leading to extensive traffic diversions and considerable inconvenience for travelers.

Reports confirm that a major culvert on NH-44 between Pitlam and Nizamsagar in Kamareddy district collapsed due to the relentless downpour and overflowing water bodies.

This structural failure has not only rendered a portion of the highway impassable but also caused severe erosion of the road itself, making it hazardous for any kind of vehicular movement.

Authorities have swiftly responded to the crisis, implementing immediate traffic diversions to ensure the safety of commuters.

Vehicles traveling from Hyderabad towards Nagpur are now being rerouted through alternative routes. These diversions include taking the Indalwai route to turn towards Kamareddy and then proceeding to Nizamabad, from where they can rejoin the highway towards Nagpur. Similarly, traffic heading from Nagpur towards Hyderabad is being directed via the Nizamabad route to reach Kamareddy before continuing their journey.

The local police and district officials have urged the public to exercise extreme caution and cooperate with the traffic regulations.

They have advised all travelers planning to use NH-44 through Kamareddy to check for live updates and adhere strictly to the posted diversion signs to avoid further complications and ensure a smooth, albeit longer, journey. The extent of the damage suggests that repairs could take some time, and commuters should prepare for prolonged disruptions.

This incident underscores the vulnerability of infrastructure to extreme weather events and highlights the need for robust planning and maintenance.

As the monsoon season continues, residents and travelers are advised to stay informed about weather warnings and road conditions before embarking on any long-distance travel across the region.
