Due to the persistent rains, the state administration in
telangana declared a vacation for all educational institutions. This choice was made during a formal meeting that the
chief minister, K Chandrashekhar Rao, called to assess the situation following the rains. A formal
press statement said that the
chief minister wanted to close the schools solely on Saturdays, as today. The
government has directed all tax collectors and educational department representatives to make sure that all schools are closed today only.
On
friday, rains continued to pound a number of regions in the State for a fourth day, flooding low-lying residential areas and impeding travel. In many areas of
telangana, life remained halted since nobody dared leave their homes in the torrential rain.
On
friday afternoon in Madhapuram
village of Devaruppula mandal in Jangoan district, a 55-year-old man drowned when he entered a lake to catch fish. The State's rivers, rivulets, and streams are swollen, and reservoirs are being flooded to capacity.
For various
telangana districts on

red signal, indicating that there might be further rainfall. From
saturday until July 26, a yellow notice has been issued for the remaining days. In remote areas across numerous districts, severe to extremely heavy rain is highly likely to fall.
