City’s fragile infrastructure has yet again fallen victim to the heavy rain accompanied by strong winds that lashed the city early on Wednesday.
Several areas were inundated, houses collapsed, trees and electric poles were uprooted, nalas overflowed, residents were tormented by tedious power outages extending into the whole day.
The intense cloudburst which began around 5 a.m., continued unabated for the next one hour, waking the city abruptly from a hot and humid night. Several trees and electric poles were uprooted under the impact of wind, while loud thunderclaps and lightnings gave people jitters even indoors.
