Hyderabad: The Cyberabad Police Commissioner Dr. M Ramesh and Municipal Commissioner Srujana on Wednesday, June 3, conducted a joint field inspection across several flood-prone locations in the Cyberabad Commissionerate limits to review preparedness measures and prevent waterlogging-related traffic disruptions.
