New Delhi, Sep 3
The monsoon has returned to Delhi-NCR with full force on Wednesday, drenching the region in heavy showers and disrupting people’s routine.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had sounded a yellow alert for Tuesday, and the skies did not disappoint. By afternoon, dark clouds gathered and unleashed a spell of rain that cooled the air, washed the city clean, and at the same time, threw traffic out of gear.
While the downpour provided much-needed respite from the muggy heat, it also led to waterlogging in several areas, turning the daily commute into a nightmare.
"It usually takes me 40 minutes to reach my office in Noida, but today I was stuck for almost two hours," said a harried Ghaziabad resident.
