The torrential rains brought temporary relief from the oppressive heat but resulted in extensive waterlogging on major roads. In several locations, water levels rose high enough to submerge cars, creating severe traffic jams. The situation has made commuting extremely difficult, with significant congestion reported in various parts of the city. The deluge also affected nearby regions, including Noida and Ghaziabad.


Traffic Advisory


In response to the ongoing flooding, the Delhi Police have issued a traffic advisory, urging residents to use alternative routes. Areas particularly affected include Mundka, Minto Bridge, IP Marg, and Mangolpuri Bridge. Commuters are advised to avoid these locations due to severe waterlogging.



Notably, the underpass on Minto Road has been heavily inundated, leading to a situation where an auto was completely submerged. In the Old Delhi area, streets within markets have also been severely affected by the accumulation of water.
