india π§ Delhi drains fail again despite desilting claims π§οΈ
A surprise downpour flooded large parts of Delhi on Monday, showing the city's drainage efforts are not fully successful. Janakpuri recorded the highest rainfall at 72.5mm, while the overall weather brought life to a standstill across the NCR. Weeks after a 95% drain desilting claim, heavy rain caused traffic jams and forced 15 flights to divert. Officials stated that temporary accumulation is being addressed while more rain is expected on Tuesday. Traders and students faced significant disruption due to the waterlogging in various colonies.
