Heavy rainfall has turned Delhi’s roads into waterlogged lanes, reducing visibility and aggravating rush‑hour traffic across the NCR.
Heavy rainfall over Delhi and the National Capital Region has turned many roads into waterlogged lanes, with water levels rising up to several feet in some areas.
The reduced visibility caused by the rain has made navigation difficult for drivers, and the already congested rush‑hour traffic has worsened, leading to longer travel times.
Traffic police have increased patrols and set up temporary barricades to manage the flow, while commuters are advised to use alternate routes or public transport where possible.
The situation has prompted several commuters to delay their journeys, and the Delhi Transport Corporation has urged drivers to exercise caution and avoid non‑essential travel during the downpour.
