As of today, it’s still raining hard in Delhi. The Rabindra Nagar area of the national capital was severely flooded after it kept raining in the city.
A news agency called ANI said that cops put up barriers at the Minto Bridge underpass to stop traffic because the area was flooding. As a result of the constant rain, some parts of the city are severely flooding. Between 8:30 am and 11:30 am, 21.4 mm of rain fell at the Safdarjung Observatory, which is Delhi’s main weather site. The India Meteorological Department said that 36.4 mm of rain was measured at the Ridge Observatory.
Many people had trouble getting where they needed to go because of the early morning rain. The PWD said it had heard 15 reports of flooding since the morning.
Besides these, we also got reports about flooding on other parts of the road that are controlled by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) or other groups. We sent those complaints on. So far, things are under control. A PWD official told PTI that the road around Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College on Delhi University’s north campus was flooded, which made it hard for people to get to work.
At the same time, there was a traffic jam on Tilak Marg in Delhi because it has been raining nonstop, which is flooding many parts of the city. The flooding has made it hard for people to move around and caused traffic jams in the area. The Delhi Traffic Police have told people who need to get somewhere to avoid this area and take other routes.
The IMD says it will rain more in the next few days, so the flooding is expected to keep happening. The weather service says it will be mostly cloudy with heavy rain during the day. It said that the city’s lowest temperature was 25 degrees Celsius, which is three degrees cooler than the average for the season.
The hottest point is expected to stay around 30 degrees Celsius. It was recorded that 96% of the air was humid. Central Pollution Control Board statistics showed that Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) was “satisfactory” at 9 a.m., with a score of 79.
Alos, in New Delhi there was a lot of rain in some parts of the national capital on Tuesday, which flooded some areas and made it hard for people to get where they needed to go. Up until this afternoon, the Public Works Department (PWD) had received 22 calls about waterlogging and 3 to 4 calls about trees that had been removed. “Movement of traffic has been restricted at Azad Market underpass in the carriageway from Azad Market towards Shastri Nagar due to waterlogging,” the Delhi Police said on X. In a different post, the police said that damage to a sewage system made it hard for cars to move on the Windsor Palace roundabout in front of Ashoka Road from C-Hexagon. A lot of commuters also went on X to talk about their problems. Someone who was traveling said that the Delhi-Meerut highway near Sarai Kale Khan was very crowded with cars.
Someone else said that the road from the Wazirabad bridge to the Kashmere Gate ISBT was very busy. Some people said there was a lot of traffic under the Savitri flyover, from Mahipalpur to Rangpuri signal, on the Nizamuddin bridge under the metro bridge, at the main market in Sant Nagar, from Dhaula Kuan to Mahipalpur, in Paschim Vihar, at the Hazari red light, on Rani Jhansi Road, and near Jhandewalan, among other places. After it rained, other places got wet too, like Sangam Vihar, Devli, Greater Kailash, Kishanganj, Mandoli, and the area near the Civic Center and outside the Central Secretariat Metro Station. In the next two hours, it was supposed to rain in places like Narela, Bawana, Alipur, Mundka, Paschim Vihar, Punjabi Bagh, Najafgarh, Dwarka, Akshardham, Vasant Vihar, Mehrauli, Chhatarpur, and Aya Nagar.
