Heavy rain has prompted the closure of the Chaparai and Kothapalli waterfalls in ASR district, according to the supplied report headline. The same headline says roads in G.K. Veedhi were damaged.

No further details are available in the source material about the rainfall, the length of the closures or the parts of the road network affected.
