The heavy rain plunged different parts of the Dharwad district, including Twin Cities, Tuesday evening and left several roads and low -laid areas in villages and cities flooded.
While the district got rain on Monday, Tuesday’s downpour associated with Thunder and Lightning was intense and caught people out of sight.
The locality Dajibanpet, Unakal Cross in Hubball, witnessed floods of roads, resulting in several vehicles in deep water. The floods subsequently influenced the vehicle on the busy Hubballi-Dharwad road for some time. The traffic police had difficulty cleaning the traffic jams.
A similar situation witnessed on the roads in front of KMF and NTTF in Dharwad affecting the movement of the vehicle.

While the downpour also led to the cuts of the power supply, there were reports of rainwater mixed with waste waters entering houses in low -laid areas of Hubball and Dharwad. The downpour also revealed the unpreparedness of the municipal administration in two cities, because the suffocated drains caused floods on arterial roads.
Reports of damage to several village roads due to downpour and authorities collect data on damage to crops and real estate caused by rain.
