Life was completely thrown out of gear in Vijayawada following torrential downpours over the past three days and with more than 24 hours of power cuts in several parts of the city. There was severe disruption to internet and mobile telephone connectivity, and long traffic jams disrupted normal life, including connectivity to Hyderabad.
Transportation within Vijayawada city and its vicinity is in a chaotic situation. While there is no way to reach Hyderabad even through Khammam, expect a slight possibility via the Piduguralla route.
