Delhi-NCR struggles with waterlogging and long traffic jams

Rainfall during the last two days left many parts of Delhi, Gurugram and nearby areas waterlogged, leading to slow-moving traffic and long jams on major roads.

To reduce congestion, authorities have advised commuters to use alternative routes, including the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) and the Dwarka Expressway. Drivers have also been asked to plan their journeys in advance and travel carefully near the affected stretch.
