Vadodara city received another spell of heavy rain on Saturday afternoon, with 2.5-inch rain (about 64 mm) falling in just a span of two hours, even as floodwater is yet to recede completely from the city.

Several parts of the city around the river, including Mujhmahuda, Vadsar, Kalali, Sama and other low lying areas of the city remained underwater and without power for the third consecutive day.

These 34 transformers are located in areas that are still submerged, power company Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Limited (MGVCL) said in a statement.
