In view of very heavy rainfall over parts of Telangana, the India Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert for multiple districts of the state today, according to the Meteorological Centre, Hyderabad.

An orange alert has been issued today for Komaram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, Jayashankar Bhupalapally, Mulugu, and Bhadradri Kothagudem districts of Telangana. An orange alert is issued for rainfall of 115.6-204.4 mm.
