On Sunday, Agartala experienced a torrential downpour that resulted in several roads being submerged in water, leading to significant difficulties for commuters.
As a consequence of the heavy rainfall, people found it challenging to move freely, resorting to wading through the waterlogged streets.
Moreover, a few trees were uprooted due to the strong winds accompanying the rain.
The sudden deluge took residents by surprise, causing inconvenience and disruption in various parts of the city.
Many commuters were left stranded as water levels rose rapidly, rendering the roads impassable.
Pedestrians and motorists alike struggled to navigate through the waterlogged areas, facing delays and inconvenience in their daily routines.
Adding to the commuters’ woes, autorickshaw drivers took advantage of the situation by charging higher fares.
