| September 9, 2009 | Rain disrupts normal life in Patna | | Patna: Heavy rain accompanied by strong wind lashed Patna and its neighbourhood on Wednesday, severely disrupting life as it uprooted trees and paralysed traffic. "We are facing a lot of problems in Patna as it's been raining since morning. Office goers could not reach office in time because trees have blocked the road,"
said Vivek Kumar, a local. The city received about 16.6 mm rainwater, while wind
blew at a speed of 40 kilometres per hour. The surprise downpour was a result
of a depression formed over Jharkhand. "Two days ago a deep depression was formed
over Jharkhand which led to a good rain in Bihar and Jharkhand. Now a low depression
is being formed in Bay of Bengal. Monsoon is active in Bihar and we expect good
rain in next two days in Bihar," said Dr SI Laskar, a meteorologist. Most of the
low-lying areas here, including those in Kankarbagh, Exhibition Road, Sri Krishnanagar
and Kadamkuaon were inundated with water for long.
