PNS

The people experienced much-needed relief from the sultry heat as it rained here on Friday afternoon after many days.

However, water-logging caused by the rainwater hit the vehicular traffic badly mainly in cities like Haldwani.

With no rainfall for the past a fortnight or so, humidity added to the woes of the people.

On the flip side, normal life was badly affected as vehicular traffic remained disrupted due to water-logging on some of the busy roads of Haldwani.

Motorists and pedestrians  faced tough time here on different city roads, including    Haldwani- Kaladhungi Road due to water- logging.

Mention worthy, Haldwani- Kaladhungi Road remains worst affected due to water-logging.

Despite  the people  persistently asking the administration to address the recurring problem of water-logging, nothing is happening on the  ground, the people here alleged.

Further, road connectivity   continued to remain disrupted in Bageshwar due to the rains.

Three roads connecting different parts of Bageshwar are presently blocked for vehicular movements due to rains.

However, the district administration, Bageshwar has  asked the officials to restore the mobility on the affected roads. 

Besides, agricultural land measuring around  20893 hectare has also been affected due to the rainfall in Bageshwar, according to  the district disaster management department, Bageshwar.

Moreover, 89 houses have also been damaged in different parts of Bageshwar,  as per the district disaster management department, Bageshwar.

Apart from poor road connectivity, basic service like drinking water supply is also reportedly disrupted in many parts of Kumaon region  with rains continuing  in full swing.
