Delhi Drowns: CM’s Claims Submerged by City’s Water Woes
Heavy rainfall on July 10, 2025, plunged Delhi into chaos, with widespread waterlogging causing massive traffic jams across the city. Key intersections became virtual parking lots, leaving commuters stranded for hours.
The Chief Minister’s assertion that traditionally flood-prone areas remained unaffected drew sharp criticism from the opposition. They highlighted the city’s crippling gridlock as evidence of inadequate preparedness.
Opposition parties accused the government of failing to address the city’s drainage infrastructure, leading to the widespread disruption. They demanded a thorough investigation into the handling of the monsoon season.
The deluge exposed the city’s vulnerability to even moderate rainfall, raising serious questions about long-term urban planning and infrastructure development. The incident underscores the urgent need for improved drainage systems and proactive disaster management strategies to mitigate future disruptions. The impact on the city’s economy, particularly businesses and daily commuters, is substantial and warrants immediate attention.
