Many areas in the city and drains got flooded.
A car moving behind the Balkum fire station got stuck in a swollen drain and was dangling on its edge after the vehicle driver apparently failed to spot the water body, mistaking it for a road, the official said.
The local fire station received an alert after which fire personnel and the disaster management cell team members rushed to the spot. They rescued the car driver and another occupant, the official said.
The two persons did not receive any injury, he said.
The car was pulled out of the drain after nearly two hours when the flood waters receded, he said. (With inputs from PTI)
