On Sunday, light to moderate rain left various roads swamped in the city, causing severe problems for the citizens.

Many bikers were seen pushing their two-wheelers, which conked out in water. To make things worse, power supply was disrupted in several areas, affecting more than 300 feeders. Additionally, there was severe traffic congestion on various roads.
