Agartala, 8th October 2025 : A brief but intense rainfall on Wednesday morning left several parts of the city waterlogged, causing significant inconvenience for residents.
Key areas affected include Bidhurkata Choumuhani, Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhavan, RMS Choumuhani, Lakshminarayan Bari Road, Lal Bahadur Choumuhani, IGM Chowmuhani and Shakuntala Road, where water accumulated on the streets. In some areas, the water reached knee-level.
The heavy downpour began around 11 a.m., following a few earlier spells of rain. Commuters heading to offices and courts were forced to seek shelter under the verandas of shops and buildings. After waiting for an hour, they faced even greater difficulties as streets remained submerged.
Most city roads were unable to drain the rainwater, turning what should have been a routine commute into a challenging ordeal. Residents reported wading through knee-deep water, and in some places, the water level reached up to the waist.
The timing of the rain was particularly problematic as it came shortly after Durga Puja and Lakshmi Puja, during a period when municipal authorities had not yet had a chance to clean the city drains. This lack of preparedness contributed to the widespread waterlogging.
The heavy rains caused significant disruption to daily life, highlighting the urgent need for proper drainage maintenance in the city.
