The Disaster Response Force (DRF), under the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Awareness Authority (HYDRAA), was deployed immediately. Around 30 DRF teams focused on clearing fallen trees, particularly on major roads and areas facing power cuts. Clearance operations were carried out at locations including Saroor Nagar Police Station.
Affected areas included Vijayanagar Colony, Kukatpally, Darussalam, High Court, BN Reddy Nagar, Falaknuma, Sultan Bazaar, Kachiguda, Sindhi Colony, and Methodist Colony. Most incidents were reported from Nampally, Malakpet, Saroor Nagar, and parts of the Old City.
DRF teams were also stationed at known waterlogging points to prevent flooding. HYDRAA officials reported that approximately 70% of complaints were resolved by the end of the night, with efforts continuing in remaining areas.
