In some areas of the city, rain was accompanied by hailstorms. People claimed it provided much-needed respite from the sweltering heat, but the traffic situation was a mess, with hours-long traffic jams.
As many as seven persons, including a four-year-old child, died when a retaining wall at an under-construction apartment came crashing down due to the torrential downpour in Hyderabad's Bachupally area, the police said.
