As per the Telangana Government orders, all private institutions, and government offices would remain shut on the 14th and the 15th of October.

Since the past two days, Telangana and areas under the GHMC limits witnessed heavy rainfall.
In the wake of the heavy rainfall, the State declared public holidays in the GHMC areas. Somesh Kumar, the Chief Secretary of Telangana, issued the orders regarding the same.
