The heavy showers also resulted in traffic congestion at Kalamassery junction, Pathadipalam, Elamkulam, Vytilla and various other parts of the city. "Many people missed their trains as they were unable to reach the station in time," said a passenger.
A major part of Infopark was left inundated, leaving many techies stranded after office hours. A video clip of water leaking purportedly inside an office on the Infopark campus went viral, but officials said it had nothing to do with the rain, rather it was due to a pipeline burst.
