City comes to a standstill receives 62 excess rainfall this monsoon

Vijayawada: Continuous rains were reported across Krishna district and Vijayawada city for the last two days. “The rains led to huge traffic snarls in the city and we have been at the receiving end. We were stuck at Nirmala Convent signal for almost ten minutes in the rain due to the traffic jam. This problem has been there for several years and officials are simply giving false promises on the construction of a protective wall,” said M Venkataratnamma, a resident of Moghalrajpuram. “Boulders rolling off the hills after getting dislodged due to rain have become a major concern for us in the monsoon season and we have not slept the entire night out of fear.
