The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for Delhi and the eastern parts of the National Capital Region (NCR) Tuesday. Several videos of commuters battling severe waterlogging and traffic snarls in the early morning hours emerged on social media, with many users criticising Chief Minister Rekha Gupta over the city’s poor preparedness amid the intensifying monsoon.

A video captures the scene near the Ambedkar Stadium, highlighting the slow movement of vehicles due to waterlogging. “Stunning office hour rain in Delhi. A view of the flooded corner of the famous Ambedkar Stadium, the venue for many a super football game,” journalist Avijit Ghosh wrote on X.
