From light drizzle to heavy rain showers, several areas of Delhi NCR were victims this morning. The rain began between 6.30 am to 7.00 am in many parts, and severe traffic jams were experienced.
Though the rain got some relief with it, at the same time, water logging became a major deterrent for school kids and office-goers.
According to the weather officials, the entire day seems to experience rain showers and more spells are still expected.
The advisory given by the Delhi Traffic Police said that traffic in areas include Ghazipur Murga Mandi, Khajuri Chowk, Modi Mill Flyover, Minto bridge, and Chatta Rail was affected by water logging.
Tweets by the Delhi Traffic Police have talked about the areas that are water logged extensively.
