 Heavy, wind-driven rain soaked the Chandigarh,Mohali, Panchkula City area on Monday afternoon, causing local flooding and an array of transportation delays across the heavily populated region.

While the intensity of rainfall had diminished shortly before the evening rush hour, water in flood-affected areas was expected to take several hours to recede.

The problem was the rain came down so heavy and so fast that the drainage couldn’t keep up, roads became quickly impassible.
