According to the forecast issued by the PAU, the weather is expected to remain cloudy over Ludhiana and its adjoining areas during the next 24 hours.

“It is only on two occasions the city has received rain this season. Last time, it rained at night so we could not enjoy the same. I was expecting rain today as the sky was overcast with dark clouds since early morning,” said Maneet, a city resident from Mahavir Enclave.

Sukhwinder, a farmer from Lopan village, said water was required for paddy at this stage.

“The depleting water table has become a cause of concern and paddy requires a lot of water,” he said.
