Heavy rain overnight affects Delhi, leading to waterlogging across multiple areas and major traffic disruptions. Several parts of the city record substantial rainfall, with Tukhmirpur in northeast Delhi’s Khajuri area reporting the highest figure at 160 mm in 24 hours. The downpour inundates roads and causes widespread waterlogging, disrupting daily commutes and slowing movement across key routes. Reports also describe uprooted trees in different locations, adding to obstacles for vehicles and pedestrians. Local officials and response teams move to address the waterlogging and manage traffic conditions, aiming to restore smoother movement. The disruptions are attributed to heavy rainfall and resultant flooding-like conditions on roadways. The impact is concentrated during the period of intense rain, with teams working to clear affected areas and improve flow as conditions change.
