Traffic snarls and waterlogging were reported in several parts of the national Capital and NCR. The traffic jams were witnessed in many areas including on GT Karnal Road near Mukarba Chowk, on Wednesday as rain lashed the city. Police officials said they received a number of calls related to traffic congestion and waterlogging in the city.
Rain caused a drain near the Delhi Police headquarters to overflow. The central control room of the MCD on Wednesday received two complaints of waterlogging in Uttam Nagar and Vasant Kunj area. It also received two calls reporting tree falls in Bhajanpura and Jhilmil and one complaint of partial damage to a building in Budh Vihar due to rain, the officials said. “Traffic is affected in the carriageway from Wazirabad Flyover towards Police Station Timar Pur due to waterlogging near Timar Pur parking. Kindly avoid the stretch,” the Delhi Traffic Police said in a tweet.
