NEW DELHI: The authorities blame the old drainage system for the city's waterlogging problems.
Wednesday's downpour smashed that claim when parts of the Ring Road bypass, an elevated road built before the Commonwealth Games, came under knee-deep water.
Waterlogging on the arterial bypass, a Rs 650 crore project connecting Salimgarh fort to IGI stadium, caused more 3km-long traffic jams. PWD officials said the unprecedented rain led to the flooding. Rainwater also collected outside the Jangpura Metro station which had come up during the Games.
