Delhi drowns again as rain throws life out of gear; commuters stuck for hours
Until 9 am, he was swallowed in a cacophone of capital horns and angry drivers. With an ironic twist, social media has become a new platform for vehicles to report their struggles. “I think everyone from law enforcement officers is on vacation today. This is a mass bunk bed.”
Humor did very little to mask the increasing frustration, because others reiterated similar feelings about the absence of traffic management.
Famous Mathura Road for traffic problems saw that the grills increased as they progressed in the morning. In the report (by Ishita Jairath), passengers went to Twitter to express their concerns, and a user begged immediately to take action because of serious flooding.
“The big traffic congestion on the Mathura Road. Please arrange traffic by sending your people,” they tweeted, they caught the urgency of the situation.
Chaos worsened with water -filled roads and ineffective traffic management. Vasant Kunj and Mehrauli-Badarpur road were full of vehicles, while the reasons were significantly different. Secondly, he encountered severe water, reducing the existing road area. Explanted drivers, expressing the discontent about infrastructure shared the images of wreck roads. “Delhi’s first -class way to Sangam Vihar from Badarpur to Batra Hospital. Participating in the mixture, a defective traffic signal in Kishangarh Chowk turned Vasant Kunj into a chaotic scene. MNC employee Nandita Bannerjee, “I waited for more than an hour to pass this tension. The signal is dead, the seemingly no traffic police.”
This lack of surveillance was a recurrent theme, the absence of many vehicle traffic personnel and an ineffective communication from aid lines, he said.
The problems were not limited to only a few areas. From the Qutub Minar Metro Station to Sardar Patel Marg, complaints were flooded and painted a terrible picture of the city’s infrastructure in rainy weather. “Delhi breaks when it rained” was a feeling shared by many people.
Rohit Baluja, Director of the Institute of Road Traffic Education, emphasized systemic failures, “Sulopma reduces the width of the road when the speed of the vehicles is already slow.” He said that the blockage often started on intersections and U -turns where traffic signals failed, and that the intervention is very important immediately.
Baluja’s observations spread to the lack of traffic management during rainfall. Delhi compared Mumbai, where traffic police were present in adverse weather conditions. “Here, you barely see them,” he said, underlining the need for better application.
Moreover, on the roads, the ongoing problems of the pedestrians on the falling branches have combined the situation and left to question whether many of the city was prepared for seasonal rains. Baluja, “Why are we not ready for it when we know it will rain?”
