There is acute water logging and the highway is closed for vehicular movement.

Meanwhile, Haryana’s Ambala emerged as the worst-hit district. Incessant downpour has left behind a trail of destruction on Indian Railways also as the rail traffic on the Ambala-Saharanpur rail section was closed as the soil under the rail track was washed away due to flooding near Ghasitpur village in Ambala Cantt, as per the sources.
Several trains were also cancelled following the flood-like situation in Punjab and Haryana.
