"We have deployed local force and PAC in the area," said additional deputy commissioner of police (ADCP) South Vasanth Rallapalli. The affected stretch, which has Ekana Stadium and Plassio Mall, witnessed slow movement after floodwater from the Gomti entered parts of the road, police said.

In Rahimabad, DCP North inspected flood-affected areas, interacted with residents and checked on their well-being. Across the north zone, DCPs, ACPs, inspectors, sub-inspectors and constables were deployed for rescue, assistance, patrolling and security in affected areas. Police teams coordinated with SDRF personnel to reach residents needing evacuation while maintaining a presence in neighbourhoods where rising water had forced families to leave their homes....
