Officials in Hyderabad had the uncommon wisdom to anticipate both the problems and the opportunities breakneck growth would bring, and to plan accordingly. The positive results are plain to see. Other cities should take note" https://t.co/5yALzEl74t

@Puzzlesonly 7*7=49
49 raise to power 0=1
1 raise to power 7= 1

7 raise to power 0= 1
Answer thus
1+1=2

A conference on "Animal Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction" was held in #Hyderabad- a very imp component & often neglected while carrying out Disaster Management
Permanent Animal relief Shelters, in identified vulnerable areas is a long term answer

#Hyderabad Very heavy rains - likely to be >10-15 cms, expected today (Aug 13) afternoon onwards throughout Hyderabad.
Advising commuters to rush home asap and be safe and avoid traveling in the evening ..

water logging on roads leading to jams will hinder traffic movement

[Arvind Kumar @arvindkumar_ias]

Intense to very intense convection in Bay of Bengal near coastal AP likely to cause very heavy rainfall during Aug 13-16 in #Hyderabad & #Telangana - still developing

Offices esp west Hyderabad may like to stagger timings to avoid peak hour traffic & resultant jams (Aug 13-14)
