NEW DELHI: Agony and ecstasy — that’s always the story of rains in Delhi. After a beastly period of high day temperatures worsened by high humidity, the city heaved a sigh of relief when the skies opened up on Thursday morning.
Soon enough, the happiness gave way to exasperation as the streets became clogged with vehicles impeded by waterlogging. There were sections on the Mehrauli-Badarpur Road where push carts charged people to be ferried across the flooded road. As usual, the underpasses were deluged and getting into or out of a Delhi Metro station proved an adventure.
