In a weather event that threw much of the national capital into disarray, torrential rains on Sunday afternoon disrupted traffic and caused severe waterlogging. Several zones such as Dhaula Kuan and Vijay Chowk were notably impacted, leading to widespread congestion.
Compounding the traffic chaos was the reopening of roads following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Rohini, resulting in significant bottlenecks at key points like Lala Jagat Narayan Marg and Rani Bagh red light.
The India Meteorological Department forecasts more rainfall with generally cloudy skies. On a brighter note, air quality remained in the 'satisfactory' range with an AQI of 91, as per Central Pollution Control Board data.
