Delhi's Monsoon Mayhem: Traffic and Waterlogging Woes

Heavy rains lashed the Indian capital, Delhi, on Tuesday, leading to significant traffic snarls and widespread waterlogging. Commuters waded through inundated roads, with many streets submerged knee-deep, causing severe disruptions across the city.

Key intersections were gridlocked, leaving vehicles stuck for extended periods, as visualized by extensive traffic queues. Despite assurances from PWD Minister Parvesh Verma about improvements at known hotspots, officials reported continued issues, particularly at the Minto Bridge underpass.

Weather stations around the city recorded varying amounts of rainfall, prompting a 'red alert' which was later downgraded to 'orange'. The Central Pollution Control Board deemed the air quality satisfactory, offering some solace amid the chaos.
