While some commuters parked their cars to wait for the rain to stop, others drove carefully through the flood that covered much of the road.

Since the floodwaters rendered the roads unusable for cars, the majority of the locations encountered traffic bottlenecks.

It follows a torrential downpour that pounded the nation’s capital on May 6, 2024, injuring one person when a tree in Cantonments toppled on a motorcycle and a car.

That time, a military officer caught up in the chaos at Castillons avoided injury when the motorbike rider, trying to dodge the falling tree, collided with the descending trunk.

Similar damage was caused at Kotoka International Airport when trees fell on around six parked cars near the Landing Restaurant.
