Visakhapatnam Low-Lying Areas Flooded; Motorists Struggle Through Waterlogged Roads
On Wednesday evening, moderate to heavy rains battered many parts of North Coastal Andhra Pradesh, including Visakhapatnam.

The downpour, lasting for an hour, left low-lying areas inundated with knee-deep water.

Meteorologists from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the rainfall to active Southwest monsoon conditions, which are expected to persist over the next few days.
