Chandigarh, the joint capital of the two states, was lashed by heavy rains today.
In Haryana, Ambala (45.7 mm), Hisar (64.7 mm), Karnal (trace), Narnaul (73 mm), Rohtak (4.3 mm), Bhiwani (39.2 mm), Panchkula (40 mm) and Kalka (35 mm) were among other places to experience rains.
Meanwhile, the two states had received very less rains between June-July period but the rains in August have come as a boon for the farming community and are likely to ease the power situation.
In June, Punjab's rainfall deficiency stood at 77 per cent as the state had received just 9.5 mm of rains, a MeT official said. (more) PTI
