In New Delhi, heavy rainfall on Thursday led to water accumulation in various parts of the city. Authorities received reports of fallen trees and flooded roads, with office workers and pedestrians seen navigating through rainwater during the morning rush hour. The Dhaula Kuan flyover and its surrounding roads have been particularly prone to waterlogging this year, causing inconvenience to commuters traveling between New Delhi, south Delhi, and Gurgaon. The Public Works Department deployed mobile pumps to drain the rainwater temporarily and mentioned ongoing efforts to find sustainable solutions to the issue. The Pul Prahladpur underpass suffered flooding, a common occurrence during heavy rains. Traffic disruptions were reported near Sarai Kale Khan ISBT due to flooding and breakdowns of vehicles. Commuters on Mehrauli-Badarpur Road also faced challenges due to the poor road conditions and waterlogging. Emergency response teams worked to address and resolve situations in various locations, with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi receiving complaints of waterlogging in 16 areas and fallen trees in 17 spots across the city. The MCD stated it had activated control rooms in all 12 zones to address waterlogging on internal colony roads.There was a state of high alert to receive and address complaints promptly. However, despite this, residents continued to report issues of incomplete silting of drains in colony roads, leading to overflowing drains. On Thursday, officials noted that problem areas such as Mathura Road, Pragati Maidan, ITO, and Minto Bridge remained unaffected. The Public Works Department (PWD) had recently constructed a new drain on Purana Qila Road to manage flooding above the underground transit corridor. In Gurgaon, overnight rain caused flooding at the Delhi-Gurgaon border in Kapashera, causing traffic delays and inconveniencing residents. The lack of a proper drainage system in the area resulted in water accumulating as runoff from Kapashera in Delhi and Dundahera in Gurgaon flowed downstream, creating waterlogged conditions. The Old Delhi-Gurgaon Road is vital for accessing Udyog Vihar, a hub for numerous businesses and employees. Commuters navigating the waterlogged area faced difficulties and some had to disembark from inter-city buses due to road damage. Anil Arora, a commuter from Dwarka to Udyog Vihar, expressed the challenges of traversing the flooded roads, highlighting safety concerns.
