Media worker Aziz Farooq has to go to the office for night duty on Friday (October 6) night. He left at 10:30 the other day to catch the 11:00 pm office, but he left at 10:00 today after seeing the cloudy conditions throughout the day. But when he got down from the building, he saw knee-deep water on the street. Crossing that water and coming to the road, no auto-rickshaws or rickshaws could be seen.
