Delhi Weather: A fresh spell of heavy rain lashed the national capital on Friday morning, causing severe waterlogging in multiple areas and disrupting traffic and daily life. Among the affected locations was Minto Bridge, a notorious waterlogging hotspot.

Visuals from across the city, including DND Flyway, Akshardham, ITO, and Sangam Vihar’s Neem Chowk Road, showed knee-deep water and long queues of vehicles, highlighting the city's recurring drainage issues. Commuters faced significant delays as water stagnation slowed traffic movement in many areas.

The heavy downpour comes as the India Meteorological Department issued a red alert for Delhi and a yellow and an orange alert for parts of NCR, including Noida, Meerut, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad.
