Monsoon Fury: Tricity Drowns Under Second Day of Deluge
The tricity of Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula remained submerged under a second consecutive day of torrential rainfall on Thursday, July 10, 2025. The downpour, while bringing much-needed respite from the soaring temperatures, caused widespread disruption.
Waterlogging became a major problem across the region, with several roads rendered impassable. Reports of significant road damage and power outages poured in throughout the day.
The rising water levels in Sukhna Lake caused particular concern, nearing the danger mark by late evening. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
A yellow alert has been issued by the meteorological department, warning of further heavy rainfall on Friday, July 11, 2025. Residents are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
This latest spell of intense rainfall underscores the urgent need for improved urban infrastructure in the tricity to better manage future monsoon challenges. The vulnerability of the region’s drainage systems and power supply needs immediate attention to avoid similar disruptions in the coming years.
