Miles away from Mumbai which received monsoonal rains today, Ranchi also turned cool due to pre monsoon lashes accompanied with lightening.

Traffic officials and transport experts are worried that driving or riding two-wheelers,auto rickshaws and even taxis will be riskier than usual this season, as their tyres aren’t changed as often as they should be,making them susceptible to accidents on slippery rain drenched roads.

Monsoon is expected within a week. The Ranchi Municipal Corporation is yet to clean chocked drains.
