Even the railway tracks near Rambagh railway station are completely submerged in water, affecting the movement of the trains on the route.

"This time these unseasonal rains have affected major parts of the state. Due to the heavy downpour, our 'Pandals' for Durga Pooja are totally damaged. Normal life is badly disrupted. With every passing day it is getting difficult for us to commute due to waterlogging", a local Pradeep Kumar said on Thursday.

Locals also expressed concerns over potholes on the roads and stated that water-logging leads to the accident due to these potholes.
