Heavy monsoon rain pouring since Saturday morning flooded streets, caused waterlogging and disrupted traffic and public life in this south-western city.
Overflowing rainwater swamped many shops, office buildings and houses.
The meteorological office recorded 81 mm of rain from 6 am Saturday to 12 pm Sunday.
The city’s Royal Junction, Baiti Para Road, Mistri Para, Jinnah Para, Shipyard Road and other low-lying areas were inundated due to the torrential downpour.
High fares charged by rickshaws, battery-powered easy bikes and three-wheelers compounded sufferings of the commuters.
