Delhi's Record Rainfall Floods Streets and Homes, Disrupts Daily Life

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor praises Lt Governor VK Saxena's prompt response to severe waterlogging in Lutyens' Delhi.

Delhi experienced its highest 24-hour rainfall in June since 1936, causing widespread flooding.
MPs struggled to reach Parliament, with some wading through knee-deep water and others needing assistance.
A portion of the roof at Delhi Airport's Terminal 1 collapsed, resulting in one death and six injuries.
Lt Governor VK Saxena set up an emergency control room and deployed static pumps to address the waterlogging.
Tharoor highlighted the need for regular maintenance of stormwater drains to prevent future flooding.
