Rain clogs all major Chandigarh roads

Chandigarh residents were a harried lot when heavy rain choked major city roads, bringing traffic to a grinding halt. Such was the situation that just to reach from Sector 22 to Sector 35, across the road, it took people as long as over one-and-a-half hours.

At Sector 35 roundabout, there was bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Clogged roads included areas of all main roundabouts, that is sectors 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 27, 28 and other sectors.

In Sector 22, water even entered houses and most of the belongings of residents got spoilt. In Sector-25, all the roads and streets were filled with water. A local resident of the sector, Subhash, said that people had to face a lot of trouble due to stagnation of water here. He also informed the corporation officials about this, but despite this the problem was not resolved.
