After several months of drought, the arrival of monsoon rains had brought relief to the people of Hyderabad District. But on the 8th of September 2006, the people living in the metropolitan city were taken aback when they woke up that Friday morning. They saw so much water that it was reminiscent of a tsunami-hit area. However, it was only the previous night’s rains that brought floods and they did not expect the situation could be so bad. Little did they know that what they were taking lightly was a serious crisis.
