Meanwhile, the last few days have been difficult for the national capital after incessant rainfall has been lashing several parts of the city and its surrounding areas.
The National Capital Region (NCR) was battered by heavy rains on Monday, plunging Delhi and its adjoining districts Gurugram, Noida and Faridabad into turmoil.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday issued an orange alert for the region, while Gurugram is placed under a warning for very heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms.
On Monday and Tuesday, the downpour left roads waterlogged, causing massive traffic snarls. Long queues of vehicles were seen inching forward across major stretches, particularly underpasses and low-lying areas in Delhi-NCR.
Videos from across the region captured images of cars and buses struggling through flooded roads.
