Delhi roads turn into water bodies after few hours of rain

By IBNS
Jul 9, 2023 ..

Delhi witnessed a fresh round of rainfall on Saturday with the Meteorological Department forecasting heavy to mild showers throughout the next few days.


According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the Safdarjung Observatory, the city's main weather station, recorded 21.4 mm of rainfall between 8:30 am and 11:30 am.

Meanwhile, the Ridge Observatory recorded 36.4 mm of rainfall during the same period.

The heavy downpour in the early morning resulted in water-logging and traffic congestion, causing inconvenience for many commuters.

Some Twitter users directly took a dig at CM Arvind Kejriwal, claiming that the administration is entirely clueless about measures to tackle the situation that is getting worse as the downpour continues.

Since the morning, the Public Works Department (PWD) has received a total of 15 complaints regarding waterlogging, according to a PWD official. Disappointed with the authorities' mismanagement and the lack of proper drainage systems, several Delhi residents took to Twitter to express their concerns.

Many tagged and called out Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, questioning his management of the situation. One Twitter user shared a video highlighting the need for the authorities to revisit the basics of management, showing heavy waterlogging in a residential area with partially submerged vehicles.

Another user shared an image of Ram Manohar Lohiya Hospital in Delhi, depicting a completely waterlogged parking area and claiming a lack of measures taken by the authorities.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted additional showers for the national capital and issued a 'yellow alert' for Sunday, July 9.
