Waterlogging in Delhi

Delhi faced significant traffic disruptions and waterlogging following heavy rainfall on Friday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) recording substantial precipitation across various areas. Key locations such as the Gulabi Bagh Underpass and Chatta Rail Chowk were severely affected, prompting the Delhi Traffic Police to issue advisories and implement diversions to manage vehicle flow. The IMD has forecasted further rainfall throughout the weekend, maintaining a 'yellow alert' for the region. Major thoroughfares, including Connaught Place and Minto Road, experienced peak hour traffic jams, exacerbated by waterlogged roads and broken down vehicles. As authorities work to address the situation, commuters are advised to seek alternative routes to navigate the congested areas. The rainfall provided some relief from the persistent humidity but also highlighted ongoing infrastructural challenges in the city.
