Heavy Rain and Protests Cause Severe Traffic Chaos

Heavy rainfall on Thursday led to severe waterlogging and traffic congestion in multiple cities, including Noida, Delhi, Bhubaneswar, and Dhaka. In Noida, key areas like the Noida Expressway and Gaur City faced significant traffic jams, exacerbated by broken-down vehicles and fallen trees. Delhi experienced similar issues, with waterlogged streets causing slow traffic on major roads, such as Mehrauli-Badarpur Road and Dhaula Kuan. Bhubaneswar saw severe waterlogging that disrupted traffic across various roads for hours. In Dhaka, traffic chaos was intensified by protests, leading to gridlocks in key locations like Shahbagh and the High Court area. The India Meteorological Department has issued more rain warnings across several regions, suggesting continued disruptions.
