Heavy rain on Tuesday morning brought respite from the heat to resdents but at the same time commuters faced hardship after a part of the road collapsed in Greater Noida West, leading to traffic snarl.
“On Tuesday I faced hardship to reach my office due to gridlock. On being asked I was told by cabbies that the jam was the result of road collapsing near ek murti chowk,” said a resident on the condition of anonymity.
Traffic came to a halt as rain lashed Delhi and some parts of the NCR. Commuters faced severe traffic snarls en route to their offices.
Those coming from Noida were stuck in jams on the DND flyover, Akshardham road and the ITO crossing.
There were waterlogging in parts of the city. A tree fell on the stretch between the Maharani Bagh and Ashram leading to traffic chaos. There was obstruction in traffic in the carriageway from the Dhaula Kuan towards AIIMS due to breakdown of vehicle.
