Nashik: The city and most parts of the district were hit by heavy rains after a gap of eleven days throwing life out of gear in the district. People were seen performing poojas on roadside near the Godavari as it was inaccessible due to flooding. Heavy downpour pounded Nashik road, Panchavati, Indiranagar, Satpur Ambad, Cidco and Bhagur and the main areas of the city since last evening leading to snapping of power supply.
 

Rivers, streams and nullahs in the district are flowing to capacity in most parts-- Igatpuri, Trimbakeshwar, Yeola, Nashik and Sinnar-- in the district. An alert has been sounded in some places due to flood. There was water-logging in some low-lying and suburban areas of the city. Due to flooding in Godavari, people offered pooja on road near Ramkund dam on the occasion of Pitra Paksha. (UNI)
