Waterlogging in Many Areas of Tricity, Road Closed in Mubarikpur; Colonies Evacuate.

Many parts of Chandigarh, including the entire tricity, have experienced waterlogging as a result of the recent rains. Sukhna Lake’s two floodgates have been somewhat widened. The Ghaggar River’s water level has increased to the danger level in the steep regions.

Traffic has been halted in Zirakpur’s Mubarikpur region due to the Ghaggar’s water running above the causeway.
