Heavy Rain Brings Delhi-NCR to Halt

June 28, 2024, 12:16 pm

Heavy rain on Friday morning caused major problems across Delhi-NCR, flooding roads and disrupting daily life. The downpour turned streets into rivers, leading to severe traffic jams and leaving many vehicles stranded.

From early morning, key roads like Anuvrat Marg and the Dhaula Kuan flyover were heavily congested, with thousands of vehicles stuck due to rising water levels. Commuters were trapped in many parts of the city, creating widespread chaos. In Noida, the rain caused severe flooding, with streets in Madhu Vihar submerged up to car windows.

Aurobindo Marg was also severely affected, with large parts of the road underwater. This caused major traffic problems, leaving vehicles stuck and forcing pedestrians to wade through knee-deep water. The flooding stretched from Aurobindo Road to the IIT flyover in south Delhi, making travel very difficult.

The Delhi Traffic Police and other authorities are working hard to manage the situation. Traffic was rerouted from the worst-hit areas, and people were advised to avoid unnecessary travel. Despite these efforts, the heavy water flow made it hard to keep traffic moving smoothly.

Despite the efforts by authorities to manage the impact, the heavy rain continues to pose significant challenges for commuters and residents across Delhi-NCR. The situation remains tough, and people are being urged to stay indoors and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary.

September 15, 2022, 10:22 am

Delhi has seen a marginal dip in the temperature on Thursday morning as the national capital has witnessed light to moderate rain and gusty winds with a speed of 30–40 km/h. This even resulted in an improvement in air quality, which was classified as satisfactory.
