Heavy rain continues to flood Delhi-NCR, prompting a red alert for the next two hours and worsening traffic congestion.
Delhi-NCR experienced extensive waterlogging earlier today, disrupting road movement across the capital region. Meteorological officials have now issued a red alert, warning that intense rainfall will persist for the next two hours.
The renewed downpour is expected to aggravate the already congested traffic, with commuters reporting long queues at major intersections and highway bottlenecks. Local authorities have deployed additional traffic police and emergency crews to manage the situation and clear flooded stretches where possible.
Officials advise residents to avoid non‑essential travel, use alternative routes, and stay updated through official weather bulletins. The red alert will be reviewed once the rainfall eases, and normal traffic management will resume thereafter.
