TGiCCC steps up monsoon response, issues red and orange alerts in Telangana

With relentless rain lashing several parts of Telangana, the Telangana Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGiCCC) has upgraded its monsoon preparedness, issuing red and orange alerts across key districts and activating an emergency response mechanism.

A red alert has been sounded for Komaram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Nirmal, and Peddapalli districts, based on the India Meteorological Department’s forecast and field reports indicating a high likelihood of heavy to very heavy rainfall. District Collectors, Commissioners and Superintendents of Police, and local control rooms have been put on notice, as the State braces for possible flood-like conditions, road blockages, and the need for swift rescue efforts.

Neighbouring districts including Adilabad, Nizamabad, Jagitial, Jayashankar Bhupalapally, Mulugu, and Bhadradri Kothagudem are under an orange alert, where heavy rainfall is expected to cause localised disruptions. In a bid to ensure early warning and timely action, the alerts have been disseminated via the Sachet Integrated Alert Platform, allowing district authorities and the public to take precautionary measures in real time.

The Multi-Agency Operations Centre (MAOC) at the TGiCCC is now functioning round the clock, coordinating with police units, disaster response teams, municipal officials, and other civic departments. Local-level emergency protocols have been activated, and all concerned departments are on high alert.

Joint Action Teams comprising personnel from HYDRAA/Disaster Response Force, GHMC, the Water Board, TGSPDCL, and law and traffic police have been deployed to monitor and address waterlogging spots within the GHMC limits. Key support systems currently active include live weather and flood tracking through satellite feeds, GIS-based incident mapping, camera surveillance analysis, inter-agency resource coordination, and mass communication via alerts and social media in affected areas.

Citizens are urged to stay tuned to official updates and cooperate with authorities during this ongoing spell of heavy rain.
