Several parts of Delhi were waterlogged on Sunday following fresh spells of incessant rain. Areas like Najafgarh in West Delhi saw severe waterlogging.

The Najafgarh area of West Delhi was particularly hard-hit by waterlogging after heavy rains. The situation worsened for commuters as roads became submerged, making travel difficult and dangerous.

In Rohini Sector 23, despite the heavy downpour, residents were seen playing and working out in the rain. The rainfall, which caused waterlogging in other parts of the city, didn’t deter these individuals from their outdoor activities.

Earlier on Sunday, heavy rainfall lashed Ambala city, leading to waterlogged roads and disruption of daily activities. Commuters struggled to navigate through the water-filled streets as the rain continued to pour.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted moderate to heavy rainfall in various parts of Haryana, including Kurukshetra, Ambala, Yamunanagar, and Panchkula. Thunderstorms and lightning are also expected to accompany the rain in these areas.

Commuters in Delhi faced significant challenges on Sunday as many roads became waterlogged due to heavy rain. The waterlogged streets slowed down traffic and made it difficult for people to move around the city.

The IMD has issued warnings for continued rainfall across several parts of northern India, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh. The rainfall is expected to persist in these regions until August 16.

The IMD has alerted residents of Haryana and surrounding areas to expect moderate to heavy rainfall, along with thunderstorms and lightning, in the coming days. The department has specifically mentioned regions like Rajaund, Assandh, Jind, and Gohana.

After experiencing significant waterlogging due to heavy rain, Delhi is preparing for more rainfall in the coming days. The IMD’s forecast suggests that the capital and surrounding areas will continue to receive moderate to heavy rain, potentially leading to further disruption.
