The morning in the city started normally—some were going to school, some were leaving for the office, some were rushing to the shops. But as the afternoon wore on, the sky seemed to change its appearance. The rain that started softly at first gradually turned into a heavy downpour, and within a few hours, the familiar streets of the city began to disappear under water.

Those of us who have seen this scene in the city with our own eyes know that rain can be a story not only of romance, but also of suffering.


🌧️ Unexpected consequences of rain: roads submerged

When water started accumulating around, it was initially thought that this might be a short-term problem. But suddenly it was seen—

Knee-deep water at the intersection,

Car wheels were submerged in the water,

Autorickshaws stopped in the middle of the road,

Buses were standing still, unable to move due to the water.

At one point, it seemed that the busiest roads had become completely impassable. The cars have become floating islands in the water. The condition of bikers is the most pitiful—some of them are pushing their bikes, some are walking with their pants rolled up.


🚶‍♂️ A picture of human suffering—each path is a battlefield

The common people are suffering the most—those who have to walk, those who have no alternative to transportation. Small children returning from school are standing in the water in wet clothes. Working men and women are getting wet from head to toe.

An old man was seen walking slowly with an umbrella, the road under his feet is not visible. Because, it is not clear where the drain is, where the hole is. Many have fallen—the open manhole under the water is like a death trap.

Those who entered the shops to escape the rain are stuck. Those whose homes and offices are far away are telling on the phone—“They can’t come today.”


🚗 Vehicles are trapped in the water

Even after the rain stopped, the cars were unable to move. Because the water is not draining. The drainage system has collapsed. In one place, a family was seen sitting in a private car—their destination was the hospital, but they are now stranded on the road.

The CNGs are standing on one side, the drivers are sitting with their heads in their hands. Many rickshaws have stopped, the rickshaw pullers are unable to push and pull the water.

The strange danger of this modern city—where we talk about development, but life stops with a single rain.


🌊 The reality hidden behind the beauty of rain

Rain has always been an emotional thing for us—love, poetry, memories. But the reality is very cruel. That emotion was buried today in the mud of rainwater, the stench of drains, and the sighs of trapped people.

This situation once again showed the finger—the city's unplanned development, weak drainage system, and the lack of effective initiatives on an urgent basis.


📹 This video is a reflection of that reality

In this video, we have highlighted:

The helpless movement of vehicles after the road is submerged in water,

People trying to cross by pushing through knee-deep water,

The scene of autorickshaws and buses getting stuck,

The expressions of distress on the faces of people running in the rain.

The video is not a staged scene—it is absolutely real, which many of us have seen and experienced before our eyes.


🛑 Conclusion: Change is needed now

Heavy rain may be a matter of a day or two, but if its disaster returns again and again, then we must understand—it is no longer just natural, it is a lack of planning. To keep the city livable, development must be responsible, long-term, and keeping the suffering of the people in mind.

We all want safe roads, functioning roads, and responsible urban management. And whenever it rains, we want it to bring romance and relief, not fear or suffering.
