The joy of rain is always almost short-lived in the National Capital as it is overshadowed by the unpleasant sight of waterlogging, overflowing, drains, and massive traffic snarls stretching beyond the sight and control.
In a few cases, there is a veritable risk of pedestrians stepping onto a huge crater on the road or god forbid, in an open or broken manhole.
As for the vehicles, the lower ones are at a greater risk of getting drowned/swept away.
The ones with the advantage of height are too at risk of getting submerged and coming to a standstill.
Authorities may kindly take notice and fix the problem.
