Heavy rains lashed parts of Delhi on Thursday. As per IMD’s forecast, moderate rainfall is also likely in Delhi on Friday and over the weekend as well. While few enjoyed the pleasant weather, many had to struggle due to flooding. Amid the chaos, many people took to Twitter and compared Delhi’s condition with that of Bengaluru. People pointed out how it is exactly the same everywhere.
Delhi NCR Waterlogging
The Delhi-Gurugram Expressway on Thursday was submerged after Delhi-NCR saw steady rainfall throughout the day. Pedestrians had to wade through knee-deep rainwater, while the vehicles moved at a snail’s pace.
