Heavy rains in Delhi disrupt flights and traffic movement

 

 

 

Continuous rainfall in Delhi on Monday led to widespread disruption, with airlines and traffic authorities issuing advisories to the public. Both Air India and SpiceJet warned passengers of possible delays due to waterlogging and poor visibility at the airport.

Several flights were reported to be running behind schedule as heavy showers slowed down operations. Airlines urged travelers to check the latest updates before heading to the airport and to allow extra time for travel.

The downpour also caused traffic congestion across major routes in the city, with vehicles moving slowly on waterlogged roads. Commuters faced long delays, particularly during peak hours, as rainwater accumulated in several low-lying areas.

Authorities have asked residents to avoid unnecessary travel and remain cautious, with the weather department forecasting more rain in the coming days. Emergency teams have been deployed to clear waterlogging in affected zones.

The combination of flight delays and traffic jams has left many Delhi residents frustrated, once again highlighting the city’s struggle to cope with heavy monsoon showers.
