Heavy Rains in Faridabad Cause Flooding and Electrocution Deaths
Heavy rains in Faridabad caused significant flooding, including at the Old Faridabad railway underpass where a school bus and an SUV were trapped. Two young men died from electrocution in separate incidents: Ramkhelawan, a delivery worker, was electrocuted by a leaking electric pole while crossing a flooded road, and Ayaan died after contact with a pedestal fan in a workshop. Authorities and local teams worked to manage waterlogging, with some underpasses closed for safety. Investigations into the electrocution incidents are ongoing.
