The building collapse is just one of the many effects of the heavy rainfall that has been causing chaos in the city. The rain has disrupted the bus and train systems, with waterlogging on certain roads and railway tracks hindering public transportation operations. A train engine malfunction has also caused delays in services on the Central Railway's Mainline.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast moderate to heavy precipitation for the city, with a red alert issued for heavy rainfall in Telangana, Karnataka, Goa, and Maharashtra on July 20. An orange alert has been issued for Chhattisgarh, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha.
The IMD has issued a rainfall warning due to a low-pressure depression that is likely to move north-westwards and cross the Odisha coast near Puri as a depression during the early morning hours. Fishermen have also been warned of rough to very rough sea conditions in coastal areas adjoining the Bay of Bengal.
