Heavy thunderstorms in Delhi caused sudden waterlogging across the city, disrupting traffic and daily life.
Heavy thunderstorms struck Delhi earlier this week, jolting the city awake and leaving streets flooded. The sudden downpour overwhelmed drainage systems, leading to widespread waterlogging in several localities. Residents reported traffic snarls and difficulty accessing public transport. Authorities have urged citizens to stay indoors and keep a safe distance from flooded areas. The city’s water management teams are working to clear blocked drains and restore normalcy.
