Heavy rains lashed the state on Wednesday, with Met department recording 2.5 inches of rainfall. The low laying areas in the city were inundated due to incessant showers. At few places like near Don Bosco high school, chocked gutters left the water saturated creating mess.
Alike last year, Panaji city’s traditionally flooding areas like KTC bus stand, parts of 18 June road, market areas remained under water.
Meanwhile, Met department has warned of heavy to very heavy showers for the state in next 48 hours.
Indian Meteorological Observatory in-charge K V Singh said that the monsoon currents have started to intensify at very fast pace after going through a weak phase, last week.
 “Some areas in the state are likely to get moderate to heavy rains for couple of days,” he said.
The heavy rains and cloudy conditions further brought down temperature to 28.8 degree Celsius in the state as against 32 degree Celsius, last week.
