Rain lashes parts of national capital

Heavy rains lashed the national capital on Wednesday afternoon, leaving low-lying areas waterlogged and thereby affecting traffic movement in parts of the city. The traffic police issued an advisory, asking people to check the weather before heading out. Generally cloudy skies, moderate rain or thundershowers are predicted in the city over the next three days, the daily bulletin by the India Meteorological Department informed.

The weather department has issued a yellow alert in the capital city with a warning of moderate to heavy rainfall. The intensity of rainfall is set to increase from Wednesday onwards, and the weather could also bring the maximum temperature down to around 32 degrees Celsius by Thursday.

As compared to last year, this year, areas like ITO, Minto Road, Pul Prahladpur, have not faced any issues with water logging. The PWD department has received 40 complaints of water logging, out of which 10 complaints are duplicates. “Many people from the same areas have complained twice. We have received almost 40 complaints, out of which 25-28 complaints are clear,” a PWD officer told TDGR.
