New Delhi: Heavy rain lashed the national capital on Friday, inundating low-lying areas, disrupting traffic across major roads and leaving several neighbourhoods waterlogged as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for the city.
As rain continued to pour through the day, scenes from south Delhi's Fatehpur Beri captured the scale of the disruption. In Valmiki Basti, while some residents waded through waist-deep water, the others carried schoolchildren across flooded lanes on a large blue plastic sheet used as a makeshift raft.
