Heavy Rain Triggers Waterlogging, Traffic Chaos Across Ghaziabad; NH-9, GT Road Worst Affected

Continuous rainfall from Sunday morning until afternoon left several parts of the city waterlogged, causing massive traffic disruptions and hardship for residents. Journeys that usually take minutes stretched to half an hour as vehicles were stranded in flooded stretches.

The downpour led to flooding at the Gaushala underpass, blocking vehicle movement, while waterlogging on GT Road at Wave City, Mehrauli, Bamheta, Lalkuan, Dundahera, Vijay Nagar, the Bahrampur underpass, and near Hindon River Metro Station caused long jams. NH-9 was among the worst-hit, with vehicles stuck under the Lalkuan bridge.
