Zirakpur, June 8
Incessant rain has derailed normal life of residents of Zirakpur and made the conditions miserable as large numbers of commuters were trapped in a traffic jam on the Zirakpur-Kalka highway and the Zirakpur-Patiala highway this morning. Two vehicles overturned near Dhillon factory chowk on the Chandigarh-Ambala highway here this morning.
Commuters were stranded for more than an hour at the Zirakpur-Kalka highway, as two trucks broke down near the railway crossing. The tires of the truck got stuck in a caved-in part of the road, blocking traffic for a long time.
A commuter, who was trapped in the jam, said there was no traffic cop present on the spot to tackle with the situation. Later, the Baltana police in-charge reached at the spot and got the trucks removed with cranes.
According to information, rainwater entered houses and shops in various areas. Goods worth lakhs of rupees were destroyed at a gift shop in Baltana by rainwater.
