Watch:



Ghaziabad is grappling under heavy rains which continued to batter the city today also.

In a separate incident earlier, 64 families of Ghaziabad's Vartalok Society were rendered homeless after they were asked to vacate their flats. It happened so because the road near their society caved in and the danger lurked over them as well. All the families had to wait outside their homes throughout the night. The work on filling the road had begun but the families had nowhere to go during the time.
