Rain lashes Guwahati, roads under water
GUWAHATI: Several major roads were under water on Friday evening after heavy rain lasting for almost an hour lashed the city. Traffic snarls due to waterlogging caused inconvenience to commuters on the busy RG Barooah Road, MRD Road, Anil Nagar, Nabin Nagar and adjoining areas. Parts of other vital roads of the city were also inundated. "Government agencies are yet to take the waterlogging issue seriously. The flow of water hasn't been restored though municipal workers are engaged in cleaning drains," said Priya Ranjan Das, who lives in Chandmari. People had to wade through knee-deep water in many bylanes in the heart of the city. However, the water level receded after some time. The Kamrup (Metro) district administration recently expressed unhappiness over the ongoing drain cleaning work carried out by the GMD and the PWD (Roads). http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/guwahati/Rain-lashes-Guwahati-roads-under-water/articleshow/20255049.cms
