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.
