Dharmanagar, Jun 17: Heavy downpour since Monday morning has left various key areas in Dharmanagar, including Jail Road, Nayapara Road, Babur Bazar, Rajbari and the India-Bangladesh border, submerged.
It was alleged that the poor drainage systems have caused water to enter many homes.
Besides, increased population density and new constructions have worsened the drainage issues, leaving water stagnant in several areas.
Noagang Bazaar was particularly affected, as the market turned to a standstill.
Due to the flood, public life was severely disrupted and shops remained closed. However, some locals ventured out to witness the flood scenario.
It was learnt that the water level remained up in various areas despite the rain subsided by the afternoon.
