Chhath Puja concludes today with prayers and offerings to the rising Sun
Devotees across Delhi and the National Capital Region went back home on Friday morning as they concluded the Chhath Puja with prayers to the Sun as the smoggy day broke.
Incessant rainfall early on Tuesday brought much relief to the people of Delhi from sultry weather conditions, though the city witnessed traffic jams at major intersections due to waterlogging.
The meteorological department has predicted thunderstorms with light to moderate intensity rain over many places in the national capital along with Gurugram, Manesar, Panipat (Haryana) and adjoining areas during the next 2 hours.

On the other hand, rains resulted in waterlogging which caused long traffic snarls in many areas of Delhi.
An auto-rickshaw was stuck and several cars and buses were partially submerged at Delhi’s Pragati Maidan and Mathura road.
“Traffic was affected in front of WHO Building near IP flyover due to waterlogging,” said traffic police.
