The video shows one of the famous streets of the UP capital significantly flooded due to the heavy rain over the weekend. Waterlogging made Lucknow streets look like desi 'Venice.' Lawyer, legal consultant and Twitter user Areeb Uddin shared this video on his social media handle and mentioned details about the incident in the caption.
In the video, one can see traffic diligently moving via the overflowed streets of Lucknow. While a group of bystanders witnessed the incident from a over bridge, several half-submerged vehicles were driving through the flooded streets.Â
