UNB
SYLHET: Rainfall of straight two and a half hours triggered water-logging in different parts of the city on Thursday night, pushing normal public life into disarray, reports UNB. People felt difficulties mostly in movement negotiating the roads that lay under knee-deep water, which moved away the following morning.
The areas that got water-logged following the rainfall include Zindabazar, Laldhigirpar, Ambarkhana, Lamabazar, Mirabazar,
Nayasarak, Uposhohor, Barutkhana, Kuarpar, Teroratan and Sheikh Ghat.
Finding on vehicles in hand, the commuters were forced to wade through the stagnant water towards their destination. Lanes, houses and shops were submerged mostly in the low-lying areas.
The downpour that continued from 6pm to 10pm disrupted power supply, putting the city residents into darkness for several hours.
Townspeople blamed improper drainage system for the water stagnation in the city areas.
However, normalcy came back to the public life on Friday morning as the rainwater receded from the city roads.
