Farmers’ ‘Dilli Chalo’ protest: Heavy traffic as security ramped up at borders
Long traffic jams hit the Delhi-Ghaziabad border were seen on Wednesday due to the farmers' protest and security checks put in place by the authorities.
Wednesday morning Delhi woke up to an overcast sky with the dark clouds all set to pour down on the second day of the much-awaited monsoon season, as was reported by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) a day before.

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.
