Heavy rain lashed parts of Kerala capital on November 22 (Wednesday) night, causing heavy waterlogging in low-lying areas and city limits. Several residential areas in the low-lying areas of Thiruvananthapuram city were inundated after the city recorded heavy overnight rain. Normal life was disrupted in the morning hours on November 23 as several stormwater drains started overflowing.
