The flooding occurred after intense rainfall continued from Sunday night into the early hours of Monday, affecting traffic and daily activities across the city.

Flooding also disrupted transportation and access to several schools, prompting the suspension of in-person classes at multiple educational institutions.
Heavy rainfall can cause localized flooding in the city, disrupting road traffic and creating hazardous conditions for motorists and pedestrians.
Road safety officials urged residents to exercise caution when traveling through affected areas and avoid crossing streets covered by floodwater.
Authorities continued monitoring road conditions and warning motorists about sections where accumulated water made driving dangerous.
The full extent of the damage, including the number of affected roads, stranded vehicles and schools suspending classes, was not immediately available.
