Dark clouds envelop city, normal life hit

Hyderabad : Dark thick clouds covered the sky plunging the city into darkness this morning and rain lashed several parts of the State capital. In Dilsukhnagar area, the motorists were compelled to move with the headlights of vehicles switched on as roads were still dark even at 11 am.

In several parts of the city, several residents switched on the lights out of their houses due to poor visibility making it difficult for two-wheelers and motorists to go out on their vehicles.
