Heavy rain lashes Guntur Guntur, November17: Heavy rain lashed Guntur and other towns in the district due to the vigorous activity of north-east monsoon on Wednesday. Low-lying areas were inundated due to the downpour at many places.There has been intermittent rain for the last 24 hours and more rain is forecast in the days ahead. Had it not been a holiday on account of Bakrid, people would have faced a lot of difficulty in moving out as rain kept pouring from the skies at regular intervals. Power transmission had frequent interruptions causing inconvenience to the people.
The district officials were asked to be alert to the possibility of yet another bout of cyclonic weather. The fresh spell of rain was obviously not a cause for cheer to the farmers for whom the super cyclone Jal' caused huge losses earlier this month.
