Hyderabad/IBNS: Heavy overnight rains battered Telangana's capital Hyderabad and flooded several parts of the city days after at least 50 people died due to deadly downpour in the state.

This comes after rains caused havoc damage worth thousands of crores across Telangana.

The Balanagar Lake in the state capital breached its boundaries last night, causing huge flash floods in nearby areas.
