The rainfall that hit Delhi as well as neighbouring regions on Sunday, such as Noida and Gurugram, forced residents to navigate through congested roads and flooded streets to reach their destination.
Sachdeva further stated that today, from Najafgarh to Patparganj, from Chandni Chowk to I.T.O., and from Sangam Vihar to Saidulajab, the entire city was seen struggling with waterlogging due to continuous rain.
MCD Mayor Dr Shelly Oberoi emphasized that the aging infrastructure, some of which are 20-30 years old and severely deteriorated, will be replaced.
The city's already struggling infrastructure buckled under the weight of the heavy rain, with police urging residents to avoid submerged areas.
The rainfall resulted in flooding of roads, waterlogging in low-lying areas, and the closure of several underpasses.
Surrounding areas are still waterlogged
A senior police official said traffic police have been providing regular updates on the impact of the downpour on vehicular movement and sharing images of waterlogged areas.
Senior Scientist at the IMD RK Jenamani said that there would be no rain in the National Capital and its surrounding areas from tomorrow onwards.
The monsoon has arrived in Delhi although the city is yet to see its fury.
