Heavy rain causes traffic snarls in Delhi
Severe waterlogging and traffic jams were reported in many parts of Delhi after heavy spell of rain lashed the city on Saturday night and the wet spell continued on Sunday.
According to India Meteorological Department (IMD), more rain is likely in the national capital in the next couple of hours.
