Earlier in August, another viral video from Ahmedabad showcased a Zomato agent braving waterlogged streets to deliver an order during heavy rainfall. The city has been experiencing intense rainfall in recent days, leading to waterlogging in several areas, including parts of Ahmedabad falling under Gandhinagar.
