Every monsoon, several areas under Karwan including Nizam colony, Hakeempet Kunta, Nanal Nagar, MD Lines, Tolichowki, Aditya Nagar colony, Janaki Nagar, Samatha colony, Langar Houz and colonies surrounding Shah Hatim Lake were the most affected areas during rains.

On Thursday, Karwan MLA Kausar Mohiuddin along with GHMC Zonal Commissioner Ravi Kiran and officers from GHMC, HMWSSB, irrigation department and others inspected various works and directed the concerned department officers and contractor to expedite the works and complete them by the given deadline. According to Karwan MLA, on the representation of AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, the State government sanctioned a special package of Rs 290 crore for the strengthening and remodeling of sewage system across Karwan. The works include box-type drain from Tolichowki X roads to Bal Reddy Nagar and another work of laying of 900 mm NP3 pipeline in surrounding location, the prior was a 40-year-old nala which is choked due to lack of maintenance which was leading to flooding.
