Heavy rains lashed the city today afternoon bringing the city to a virtual standstill. Tall claims of administration were put to rest today with a large portion of the city subject to heavy waterlogging. Several areas were under knee deep water forcing formation of long queues of non-moving motor vehicles.

The case was especially so at Delhi Gate, Durga Nursery Road, Ashok Nagar, University Road, Old city area and several areas of Hiran Magri.

Heavy rainfall that started around early afternoon continued till 2 pm. Many schools students were drenched as they made their way back home. Waterlogging created traffic huge problems in front of Lakecity Mall. A motorcycle was also washed away in the flowing water and fell in the open sewerage.

Road from Shastri circle towards Delhi gate was another area that witnessed major submersion of roads under water. This area frequenty witnesses submersion due to its downward gradient and lack of proper drainage system.
