Waterlogging, jams, road cave-in: Heavy rain disrupts normal life in parts of capital

[ad_1]

Heavy waterlogging was witnessed in low-lying areas and traffic movement came to a standstill on key busy stretches such as Delhi-Meerut Expressway, ITO, Akshardham, Ashram, Lajpat Nagar, AIIMS towards IIT Delhi, and India Gate circle, as rains lashed the city Wednesday.

A portion of road in Patparganj area that connects with Geeta Colony also caved in due to the heavy rains. Public Works Department (PWD) officials said they received a total of 32 complaints regarding waterlogging. Most of these complaints were from North Delhi, Alipur road, Jahangirpuri, Central and New Delhi, East Delhi and Rohini, they added.

The officials said they acted on waterlogging complaints as soon as they were received. “Wherever the water accumulated, it was cleared immediately,” said a PWD official.

Delhi Traffic Police also kept updating the commuters about the status of traffic jams through Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites.

Besides key stretches, heavy traffic jams were also witnessed on outer parts of the city including Mukarba Chowk, Nangli Puna, Chhattarpur Metro Station, Alipur to Mukarba Chowk, GT Karnal Road etc. Waterlogging was also seen near Delhi police headquarters in Central Delhi.

“Massive traffic jam on GTK road bypass near Swaroop Nagar. I was stuck for about two hours in the jam and could not even move a bit,” said a commuter, Chandan.

Another commuter said, “I had to travel to Noida and I was stuck in a traffic jam for about an hour. The entire stretch from Lajpat Nagar to Defence Colony and Moolchand was heavily packed and there were no police personnel to decongest traffic movement.”

PWD received around 33 complaints regarding potholes and 63 regarding non-functional street lights due to heavy rains in the last two days due to rain.

Rainfall deficit of 35% in Delhi as monsoon set to withdraw in two days

Rainfall deficit of 35% in Delhi as monsoon set to withdraw in two days

[ad_1]

Monsoon is likely to withdraw from parts of northwest India over the next two days, leaving a rainfall deficit of 35 per cent in Delhi, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD) figures. From June 1 to September 18, the Safdarjung weather station, which provides representative figures for the city, has recorded 398.6 mm of rainfall against a normal of 615.8 mm.

The southwest monsoon hit Delhi on June 30 this year, close to the ‘normal’ onset date of June 27. This year, Delhi received its monsoonal rainfall in July, August and September. At Safdarjung, the month of June saw a deficit of around 67 per cent in rainfall. July recorded an excess of around 37 per cent, while August left behind a large deficit of around 82 per cent. In September so far, Safdarjung has recorded a rainfall deficit of 53 per cent.

Little rain is on the forecast in Delhi over the next two days – very light rainfall is a possibility on Monday, while no rain is likely on Tuesday, the IMD said.

In an update on Monday morning, the IMD said dry weather is likely over Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh, west Rajasthan and Punjab during the next five days due to an anticyclonic flow over northwest India. Conditions are therefore becoming favourable for the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from parts of northwest India during the next two days.

From June 1 to September 18, the city has recorded 326.2 mm of rainfall, which is 38 per cent short of the normal of 523.6 mm. Of the nine districts that the IMD considers for rainfall distribution in Delhi, only a single district, East Delhi, has recorded rainfall in the ‘normal’ range since June 1. Two districts – Northeast Delhi and West Delhi – have recorded a large deficit in rainfall. Central Delhi, New Delhi, North Delhi, Northwest Delhi, South Delhi and Southwest Delhi have recorded rainfall in the ‘deficit’ range from June 1 onwards.
