Delhi-NCR experienced its wettest first week of August in 15 years, with non-stop rainfall on August 7-8 causing widespread waterlogging and crippling the city's transport infrastructure.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for the region, as major arterial roads remained submerged, forcing authorities to manage severe traffic gridlock and public transport delays.
The persistent downpour has led to significant urban flooding, with local municipal bodies struggling to clear drainage systems as the city remains under high-alert status for further precipitation.
