Heavy rains lashed Vadodara on Sunday evening Vadodara: Heavy rains lashed the city on Sunday evening leaving several areas, especially in the old city, waterlogged. The weather was overcast since morning and it kept drizzling throughout the day. But the skies turned pitch dark by 5 pm and soon it began pouring. Barodians, though, took advantage of the weather and went out for long drives away from the city. Many took to the Sindhrot bridge while others drove on the Halol Road to get an exquisite view of Pavagadh flanked by clouds. Thousands of visitors flocked to Pavagadh despite the administration putting a ban on private vehicles to the hill-top on weekends.
