It was the time when national news channels should have focused to provide the information to the relatives who are eager to get news from these places of Andhra pradesh. Luckily there are many regional channels which are covering these floods situation properly.
Even continuous rains are witnesses in the city of Hyderabad and Telangana region, people are advised not to venture out in rains unless its mandatory.
