New Delhi:
Many roads in Delhi are water-logged and traffic in the city has been thrown out of gear after it started raining in the city again today.
The Delhi traffic police tweeted that some roads, like the stretch from Badarpur to Mathura road, are water-logged and should be avoided.
Yesterday, the Delhi High Court asked the Sheila Dikshit government and the civic agencies to clean the storm water drains on a war footing within a week so that there is no water-logging during monsoon.
The court passed the order following an assurance from Urban Development and PWD departments of Delhi government, New Delhi Municipal Corporation, three MCDs, Delhi Jal Board (DJB) on a PIL seeking de-silting of drains in the city.
"If there will be any waterlogging, the concerned Commissioner shall file an explanation in two weeks as to why there was waterlogging", the bench said.
The court also pulled up the authorities for their failure to prevent water-logging in the city despite the court's directions.
