The Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert. According to meteorologists, a storm hit the north of New Delhi on Friday at around 2.45 am Indian time. The presence of a large storm that had already hit Uttar Pradesh played an important role in making its impact more effective. That is why there was so much record rainfall.

 

One person died due to rain in Delhi. Due to rain, the minimum temperature was recorded at 24.7 degrees Celsius, three degrees below normal, while on Thursday it was 28.6 degrees. The maximum temperature was recorded at 32.5 degrees Celsius, five degrees below normal. A day earlier it was 35.4 degrees. The humidity level in the air was recorded at 100 to 71 percent.

Waterlogging in the houses of many MPs

 

In Lutyens Delhi, along with the bungalows of Union Ministers and MPs, military officers, central officers, and industrialists also came under the grip of waterlogging. Water accumulated up to two to three feet in their houses. SP leader and MP Ram Gopal Yadav was carried from his house to the car by his employees in their arms so that he could go to Parliament.

 

A similar situation arose with many other MPs. The house of Delhi's water minister Atishi, who was on a dharna for water a few days ago, was also flooded with rain and sewer water. There was chaos of waterlogging everywhere.

 

People in embassies, high commissions, and state buildings were seen crying for help. NDRF also had to come in for relief and rescue operations. Most of the roads were jammed throughout the day. There was a three to four-km-long jam on GT Karnal Highway. Vikas Marg from Laxmi Nagar to Lutyens Delhi was jammed for hours.
