Lucknow endured a relentless 20‑hour rainfall, flooding rivers and sweeping a petrol tanker away in Lalitpur, while half of Uttar Pradesh was drenched by showers.
Lucknow was hit by a continuous 20‑hour downpour that began in the early morning and persisted into the evening, causing widespread flooding across the city.
The deluge left many streets waterlogged, disrupted public transport and forced the closure of several schools and offices.
In Lalitpur, the swollen river swept a petrol tanker away, raising concerns about hazardous material spills and prompting emergency services to cordon off the area.
