The city received heavy rain for over four hours on Sunday night, resulting in inundation of many areas across Dindigul.
Commuters, especially office-goers and college students, found it difficult to use the roundabout near the Collectorate as well as Tiruchi road as waterlogging on both sides of it persisted without passage to drain out.
N. Ravi, a frequent user of the road, said that the waterlogging is a pressing issue on the stretch.
“It will take days for the rainwater to drain even after a light spell. Authorities need to set right this road before rain again,” he said.
Another passenger noted that the traffic flow on Old Karur Road is diverted here since the construction of a rail underpass was taken up. “Hence the vehicle movement is doubled and with such flooded roads, it makes commuting a bigger stress,” she added. The spell lasted between 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.
Residents of Nahal Nagar noted they had to wade through ankle-deep water and waterlogging at Balakrishnapuram, R.M. Colony, Thadikombu Road and Palani Bypass road in Dindigul. Rainwater entered the town panchayat office in Thadikombu as the windows were left open overnight.
Water levels in many local tanks, including Gopalasamudram, Chettinaickenpatti tank, and a tank on Siluvathur Road, increased.
