Kashmir received another spell of torrential rainfall Saturday afternoon with MeT predicting intense spell showers for another three days.
Since Saturday morning, possibility of rains looks imminent in the face of overcast sky.
Heavy rains coupled with winds blew grits of rain into residences and offices.
Reports came in from different parts of the city that heavy winds blew open window panes, letting in rain water, besides making people run for the cover.
The intense downpour also triggered water-logging in many parts of city. Severe inundation was reported outside SBI bank near Residency Road and Radio Kashmir at Rajbagh.
