Two hours of intense rain in Mohali caused water to inundate roads across more than ten sectors and seep into nearby slum areas.
Heavy rainfall lasting about two hours struck Mohali on Thursday, leading to rapid water accumulation on streets in more than ten residential sectors. The downpour, described by locals as unusually intense, turned many thoroughfares into shallow streams within minutes.
The sudden flooding disrupted traffic flow, with several main arteries becoming impassable and commuters forced to seek alternate routes. Residents of low‑lying slum colonies reported water entering their homes, damaging personal belongings and raising concerns about sanitation.
Municipal officials deployed emergency response teams to pump out water and clear debris, while urging citizens to avoid non‑essential travel until the situation stabilises. Weather forecasts predict a brief lull, but authorities remain on alert for any further precipitation that could exacerbate the conditions.
