Heavy rainfall has led to waterlogging across many parts of the Delhi-NCR area, disrupting traffic on several roads. Overflowing stormwater drains have been observed in various locations, with water spilling onto the streets.

Social media visuals reveal significant waterlogging in Rajendra Nagar, the same area where three IAS aspirants tragically drowned in basement flooding three days ago during the recent rains.

Other affected areas include RK Puram, Janpath, Parliament Street, Karol Bagh, Nauroji Nagar, Pant Marg, Mayur Vihar, and several other locations.

In Gurugram, water accumulated on major roads including Subhash Nagar and Old Railway Road, along with other areas. The weather department has forecasted that the rainy conditions are expected to persist until August 5.
