Rains lash city

Thundershowers, which decided to give my locality a miss, accompanied by gusty winds lashed the city last night bringing some much needed relief from the summer heat. 120 trees came down and roads were inundated with water throwing traffic into disarray and exposing the city's fragile infrastructure yet again. The rain also brought down some stalls at the ICE Exhibition at Palace Grounds. 300 people who were visting at that time had a close call.
