Rain pounds Mysuru, disrupts normal life

Students, office-goers, roadside vendors bear the brunt; dwellers of low-lying areas severely affected
Mysuru: The impact of low-pressure system formed over Bay of Bengal was heavily felt on Monday evening, as heavy rain pounded the city, bringing normal life to a standstill.
Though the weather was gloomy in the day, the sun came on the top frequently. However, parts of the city received rainfall from 10.15 am to 12 noon, leaving especially the school and college students and office goers in a fix. Though the rain stopped, there was no reprieve from the cold breeze that was followed by formation of the clouds casting a dark spell at about 4.30 pm. It was followed by thunderstorms and copious rainfall for about half-an-hour.
