Gandhinagar June 19 Most parts of Gujarat continued to witness heavy rains on Saturday, affecting normal life.

The heavy downpour created a flood like situation in almost the entire district with water-logging disrupting the traffic and normal life. Many farms have turned into lakes in the district, with major crop loss feared in pomegranate cultivation.
