Heavy rains wreak havoc in Ballari district

Tata Power late on Friday reported a cyber attack on its IT infrastructure that impacted some of its systems.

Heavy rain which lashed Ballari city for around three hours late on Tuesday night caused havoc, affecting movement of vehicles.

Rainwater accumulated at several places hindering movement of vehicles. There was knee-deep water on Stadium Road and beneath the railway bridge in Satyanarayanapet. Water flooded the mini zoo in the city and deers were seen wading through water.
