Bandlaguda in Uppal received the highest rainfall at 20.6 cm
Torrential rain overnight has left behind a trail of destruction in the city by Thursday morning, reminding people of the devastating floods in October last year. Several localities were flooded, forcing people to spend sleepless nights as rainwater entered homes. The eastern part of the city recording the highest of 20.6 centimetres of rainfall has taken the maximum brunt where overflowing lakes have drowned the surrounding areas. Colonies in East Anandbagh, a locality in Malkajgiri area, which are flooded every time there is a rain, experienced the same yet again. Ayyappa Colony in Bandlaguda, a chronic inundation point, has received abundant flows from upstream of Bandlaguda lake by dint of its location inside the Full Tank Level.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
