Rain lashes cities: While the north is battling in the sweltering heat, rains and thundershowers brought some respite. But rains also brought along problems of heavy waterlogging and traffic. On the other side, Bengaluru too is facing waterlogging as several areas remained submerged following rains.
On Tuesday and the wee hours of Wednesday, rains lashed parts of the national capital even as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast light-to-moderate intensity rain over entire Delhi and adjoining areas.
