Water filled on many roads of Delhi

Due to heavy rains, a lot of water has flooded Delhi’s roads. Where, some time ago, the new BJP government of Delhi was claiming to solve the problem of waterlogging, this time. But, as soon as it rained, the trouble of Delhiites increased. Like last year, water-filled sensitive places were due to waterlogging.

The work of cleaning the drains has been going on for the last several days, but the rain on Friday morning exposed their claims. Due to water filling at many places, including Minto Bridge, ITO, and Kishanganj underpass, the movement of vehicles has been greatly affected.
