Heavy Rain Causes Waterlogging and Traffic Delays in South Delhi and Airport Road
A sudden heavy rain in South Delhi and nearby areas caused severe waterlogging on key roads, including the Delhi-Airport stretch and Dwarka underpass, leading to significant traffic congestion and delays for commuters. The India Meteorological Department issued a yellow alert, forecasting intermittent light to moderate rain throughout the day. This rainfall follows earlier heavy showers this month that also caused flooding and disrupted traffic in several low-lying parts of Delhi, with multiple waterlogging complaints reported to the Public Works Department.
