The Story in Brief
Rain lashed parts of Delhi on Monday, with visuals from the ITO area showing commuters struggling through waterlogged roads. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had forecast light to moderate rain across the capital. No major disruptions were reported, but traffic slowed in several stretches.
The Indian Opinion
Delhi's annual monsoon ritual is back, but the visuals of waterlogged streets at ITO are a tired story. Every year, a few hours of rain brings the capital to a crawl, and every year the blame game begins. The real test is not whether it rains, but whether the drains are cleared before the next downpour. How many times will we see the same pictures before someone asks why the city's drainage system is still a colonial-era relic?
