Massive traffic jams across city, flights disrupted In Delhi rain

Delhi witnessed traffic snarls across several parts of the city on Monday as heavy rainfall led to waterlogging and impacted vehicular movement.

The metro services at Rajiv Chowk were also disrupted following a technical snag on the Noida Electronic City route.

The disruption in road, metro and air travel comes amid a ‘yellow’ rain alert for Delhi on Monday evening. A flood warning has also been issued for Yamuna floodplains as the Hathnikund barrage discharged 3,29,313 cusecs of water at 9 am on Monday.

The latest IMD advisory showed an orange alert for most parts of the capital till 12:32 am on Tuesday. Visuals from Dwarka, South Extension, Vasant Vihar, Chhatarpur and Gurugram showed waterlogging, leading to traffic congestion.

The situation was grim in South Delhi and along ring roads, with waterlogging worsening the traffic flow.
