Ludhiana experienced intense rainfall, leading to waterlogging and traffic slow‑downs across the city.
Ludhiana, Punjab, was pelted by a bout of heavy rain on Monday, prompting city officials to issue advisories for commuters and residents. The downpour caused water to accumulate in low‑lying streets, creating temporary flooding in several neighbourhoods.
Traffic on major arteries such as the GT Road and the Ring Road slowed as drivers navigated puddles and reduced visibility. Police and municipal workers were deployed to clear water from critical junctions and assist stranded vehicles.
Local schools and small businesses reported brief interruptions, with many opting to keep doors closed until the rain eased. The Punjab Meteorological Department warned that the city could see further showers later in the day and urged people to exercise caution.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation and have asked citizens to avoid non‑essential travel until conditions improve.
