Heavy Rains Cause Chaos in Multiple Cities

Heavy rains wreaked havoc across several Indian cities, notably causing severe traffic disruptions and waterlogging. In Delhi, intense rainfall led to tragic incidents including the drowning of a mother and her child in Mayur Vihar, and a house collapse in Sabzi Mandi, prompting the closure of all schools on Thursday. Key areas like ITO, Connaught Place, and Old Rajinder Nagar experienced significant waterlogging, affecting commuters and ongoing protests. Similar weather conditions led to landslides and traffic halts in Pune's Tamhini Ghat, and potholed roads in Thane exacerbated congestion on highways. Authorities across affected regions are actively monitoring the situation and advising residents to stay indoors.
