Get set for monsoon wading

The citizens of Greater Hyderabad can boast of having good healthcare services, international airport, world class research and educational institutions among other things. But when it comes to monsoon, the city roads turn into virtual swimming pools. Even 11 mm or 1.1 cm of rainfall in an hour inundates the main roads resulting in traffic chaos. Houses in the low-lying areas are marooned and the inhabitants have to shift to community halls or schools.
