Asaduddin Owaisi announces special rain prayers in Hyderabad amid dry spell

AIMIM chief and Hyderabad Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi has announced that Salat al-Istisqa, which are special prayers for rain, will be held in Hyderabad on July 26. The scheduled congregation is set to take place at 8 a.m. to seek relief from a prolonged dry spell that has affected the region.

The announcement comes at a time when Telangana is experiencing a significant shortage of precipitation during the current season. The state is currently recording a 19 percent monsoon rainfall deficit, which has led to dry conditions and heightened concerns across various sectors.

According to the details provided by the Hyderabad MP, the special prayers are aimed at seeking rainfall and relief as the state navigates this dry period. The lack of rain has had a widespread impact, with over 20 districts in Telangana currently facing deficient rains.

The scheduled Salat al-Istisqa on July 26 at 8 a.m. is a direct response to these challenging weather conditions. Asaduddin Owaisi, representing the Hyderabad constituency, made the announcement to bring the community together in prayer to address the environmental crisis.

The ongoing dry spell has affected more than 20 districts, highlighting the severity of the rainfall deficit. With a 19 percent deficit in the monsoon rainfall across Telangana, the call for special prayers reflects the urgent need for rain in the region.

The prayers scheduled for July 26 in Hyderabad will focus on invoking relief from the dry spell. The community hopes that the Salat al-Istisqa will mark an end to the dry conditions affecting over 20 districts in Telangana. The event is expected to draw participation from residents who are concerned about the prolonged dry spell and the 19 percent monsoon rainfall deficit.
