A man wheels a motorbike through the deluge, while traffic officers manage movement on submerged roads as vehicles push through.

The scenes reflect the arrival of delayed monsoon rains, which have come more than two weeks later than expected. Floodwater covers large stretches of road, slowing transport and forcing residents to navigate on foot.
