Waterlogged road in Vadodara
Vadodara: Barodians, who were keenly awaiting winters, woke up to foggy weather and heavy drizzles on Friday morning. The unseasonal rains left some areas water-logged for some time. The civic authorities who are already busy fighting Covid-19 virus too were wary of the rains.
“The winters were yet to begin despite we being in the second week of December. No one had expected it to rain and that too for so many hours. I was caught in a traffic jam briefly on the Rajmahal Road,” said Smit Pandya, a resident of Manjalpur.
The Akota Dandia Bazaar Road in the city and the Sindhrot bridge on the outskirts was flooded by youngsters hanging out with their friends.

But no untoward incident was reported in the district,” the officials said.
