The incessant heavy rainfall also led to waterlogging in several areas in the national capital, affecting daily commuters and causing traffic disruptions. Traffic was seen moving at a snail’s pace in Madhu Vihar, Jorbagh, Motibagh, RK Puram, Sadar Bazar area and ITO with roads partially inundated. Zakira Underpass near Inderlok was closed.
