Heavy Monsoon Rain Causes Waterlogging and Traffic Disruptions in Delhi-NCR Ahead of BRICS Summit
Heavy monsoon rains caused extensive waterlogging and severe traffic congestion across Delhi-NCR, particularly on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway, where a nearly 10-kilometre jam trapped thousands of commuters for hours. Flooding near key locations such as Shiv Murti and the IGI Airport's Dwarka underpass disrupted travel and raised concerns about coordination among agencies ahead of the upcoming BRICS Summit. Authorities diverted traffic and deployed pumps to manage water accumulation, while commuters reported significant delays and stranded vehicles.
