Widespread flooding swirled from Western and Southern India. In the state of Telangana, the city of Hyderabad had witnessed the wrath of the destruction with severe flooding. The series of 2020 Hyderabad floods were related to Deep Depression BOB 02, which resulted in massive damage and loss of life because of flash flooding in Hyderabad, India. The series of flash flooding lasted for around three days, leaving a considerable impact behind. Infrastructural damage, particularly to households and workplaces, poses a severe threat to people seeking protection from rising water levels. The number of deaths had reached a total of 98 with around $681 million loss of property and construction. The areas severely affected by the calamity include Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Puducherry, Karnataka, Kerala, Goa, and Maharashtra. 

According to the weather analysts, the Hyderabad region received the highest rainfall in over 20 years in the current series of floods. People were advised to remain indoorsto avoid accidents and injuries in floodwaters. There was a persistent danger of a massive spread of infectious waterborne diseases and electric shocks due to the accumulation of floodwater. As per the current statistics, the monsoon season has led to massive death and devastation, taking more than 1,000 lives and affecting 9.6 million people in India. India’s National Disaster Response Force, as well as their armed forces, had stepped in to assist the victims. The nation’s government itself has been taking considerate steps to provide relief and assistance to the affected people. However, the damage is vast, and there were many people in immediate need of assistance that couldn’t be helped along by the government. Hence, HHRD stepped in to help the affected people.
