25mm rainfall in one hour floods Rajkot

Written by news2in

Rajkot: Heavy rain on Tuesday evening brought much-needed respite from the humidity in Rajkot but left several areas heavily waterlogged.
While many were seen enjoying the downpour, several commuters were wading through deep waters as the rainfall occurred for nearly one hour during the peak evening hours.
According to an estimate, 25 mm rainfall was reported in an hour in several parts of western Rajkot.
People reported knee-high water near Lodhika GIDC, Race Course Road and near police headquarter which disrupted routine traffic.
Heavy rain also blocked several roads for nearly an hour in areas like Kalavad Road, University Road, 150 foot Ring Road, Bhaktinagar, Dhebar Road and other areas.
The work on flyovers is also under progress at Hospital Chowk, Madhapar Chowk and KKV Chowk and water logging affected the movement of vehicles in these areas.
