Heavy rainfall in the national capital on Thursday led to severe traffic congestion in various areas, including east and west Delhi, due to waterlogging. Notable locations affected include India Gate, Janpath Road, R K Puram, and Connaught Place, among others.

Delhi Traffic Police used social media platform X to inform the public about the traffic disruptions. They highlighted specific problem areas such as Old Pankha Road, GTK Road, MB Road, and Najafgarh Road where waterlogging and potholes severely impacted vehicle movement. Ongoing work by the Bombay Suburban Electric Supply was also noted to contribute to congestion.
