Strong rainfall in Pollachi over the past two days has led to waterlogging on Pollachi-Udumalpet road and in several residential areas, disrupting traffic and daily lives.
Coimbatore: The past two days have witnessed significant rainfall in Pollachi and its surrounding regions, part of the Western Ghats.
The rains, which intensified yesterday afternoon, resulted in severe waterlogging across various neighborhoods including Krishnaveni Raj Nagar, Jai Ganapathi Nagar, and Vasavi Nagar.
The sudden downpour rendered many roads impassable and forced residents into distress as flood waters entered homes and disrupted normalcy.
Traffic on the Pollachi-Udumalpet road, particularly around the Chandrapuram section, experienced major disruptions, causing delays for over an hour as commuting became perilous. Emergency services and police were deployed to manage the traffic and ensure safety for the stranded motorists and residents.
As rain continues to pour down in the Pollachi area, although it is a welcome respite from the recent heat, the repeated waterlogging on roads presents ongoing challenges to drivers and local authorities.
Efforts are underway to clear the inundated areas and restore normal traffic flow. The local administration urges residents to stay cautious and avoid unnecessary travel.
