Hyderabad: Residents of Venkatadri Nagar, a neighborhood near Hyderabad’s Jeedimetla Industrial Estate, were alarmed when their streets were inundated with red-colored water. The liquid, which emerged from a manhole, spread across the roads, giving them a blood-like appearance. The incident caused respiratory discomfort among locals due to the pungent odor of the liquid. Videos showing the roads submerged in the red substance quickly circulated on social media.
K. Lakshman, a Jeedimetla resident, expressed concerns about the lack of oversight in industrial waste disposal. Speaking to the Times of India (TOI), he said, “This incident highlights the absence of proper monitoring of industrial waste disposal in the area. The Pollution Control Board and GHMC must implement strict measures to prevent such dumping. Proper supervision of waste management is urgently needed.”
Some residents speculated that the flooding was caused by expired paint being illegally dumped into the sewage system. However, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) dismissed these claims. A Quthbullapur division official explained, “There have been no previous reports of colored water flowing through the sewer network. This suggests the chemical waste was likely dumped directly onto the streets.”
Local residents also alleged that industries in the area have previously discarded waste into the already polluted nearby river. They have appealed to authorities to address and curb illegal dumping practices.
Interestingly, a similar incident occurred in New York last year, when green slime seeped onto streets from sewers. Reports indicated that the substance was a tracing dye commonly used to detect leaks in low-light environments like underground pipelines or sewers.
