Ambala, September 2: Continuous heavy rainfall over the past two days in Haryana's Ambala district has caused severe waterlogging in various parts of the city, including residential areas. Residents of Ambala's Cloth Market, Nadi Mohalla, and many other localities are facing significant inconvenience and damage due to flooding.
