The impact of the rain and consequent waterlogging in Delhi was evident in the movement of traffic.
As Delhi received its first proper monsoon showers on Thursday, the whole city came to a standstill with commuters facing a harrowed time. There was waterlogging in most parts of the national capital and half kilometre long commutes were taking over an hour to cover.
However, today, Public Works Department minister Satyendra Jain said "I did not receive any complaint of water logging having lasted for more than an hour in any part of Delhi."
But many areas today, according to our ground reports, show remnants of rain.
The Public Works Department, which comes under the Delhi government, has set up 500 new pumps - including mobile ones - to pump out water, set up a helpline and claims to have cleaned up hundreds of kilometres of roads ahead of monsoon, but people of Delhi feel all this is of no avail.
Vikas, who commutes daily from Nehru Place to Okhla in South Delhi, was stuck in a jam for two and a half hours; some were even stuck for four to five hours.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government spent Rs 75 crore on advertisements last year and Rs 14.5 crore from February to March this year, however, they have no funds allocated for monsoon preparedness.
AAP spokesperson Dilip Pandey told NDTV, "PWD has funds in crores to take care of these matters, there is not a need of a separate allocation of funds for this."
On Thursday, the rain was recorded at 22 mm in north Delhi's Ridge area and 16 mm at Safdarjung conservatory in south Delhi.
