Vadodara reels under wet spell

Vadodara reels under wet spell
Vadodara: Barely 25 mm of rainfall on Monday left several areas in the old city waterlogged on Monday.
The skies were overcast over the last two days but it began raining heavily early on Monday morning. Areas like Raopura Road, Mandvi, Dandia Bazaar and parts of Sayajigunj witnessed water-logging.
District administration officials said that more rains are expected in the next 48 hours.
The intermittent rains that continued for over five hours, brought much relief to the Barodians who were sweltering under humid conditions. Office-goers had tough time travelling as they had to wade through the waters but the cloudy skies also gave some an opportunity to go on long drive.
Those residing on the banks of Vishwamitri River are already on the edge as heavy rains tend to flood their colonies every couple of years. Representations have been made to the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) to clean up the river bank and storm water drains for smooth passage of rain waters.
IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rains at isolated places in Anand, Vadodara, Aravalli, Kheda, Panchmahal, Dahod, Mahisagar, Chhota Udepur and Narmada districts up to July 8
