Heavy rains lash Chandigarh

Heavy rains lashed most parts of Chandigarh this afternoon leaving the roads flooded for a while and causing inconvenience to people.
The sharp showers that lasted for over an hour forced the motorists to move at a snail's pace causing traffic snarls at some points as rain water accumulated along the roads and the city's landmark areas.
The heavy downpour, which covered mostly the northern and central sectors of Chandigarh, brought relief to the people from the humid conditions.
According to the MeT Department here, rains also lashed few places in Punjab and Haryana.
More rains have been forecast in the region till tomorrow.
