Water everywhere outside the bungalows of MPs and ministers, electricity was off the whole night

While rain has brought relief to Delhi-NCR, the tension of VIPs has increased due to waterlogging on roads and in houses. Water accumulated outside the bungalows of MPs and ministers in Lutyens Delhi. In many places, there was a power outage throughout the night and people had to spend the whole night in darkness.

The bungalows and surrounding areas are flooded with rainwater

When the leaders came out of their houses in the morning to attend the Parliament session, they were seen struggling with the situation. Rainwater accumulated in and around the bungalows of Delhi's Water Minister Atishi, SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav, Protem Speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab, Congress MP Tariq Anwar and NITI Aayog member Vinod Kumar Paul.

Lutyens Delhi is considered a VVIP area. Here, the elections of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) have opened due to waterlogging in the houses after the rain. Only NDMC maintains this area. Pre-monsoon operations are carried out before the rain. By looking at the condition of VVIP houses after the rain, one can guess what will be the condition of the houses of common people. There is no drainage system in many areas of Delhi.

Delhi government came into action mode

The Delhi government has come into action mode after heavy rains in the capital Delhi brought traffic to a standstill in many areas. The Delhi government has called an emergency meeting at 2 pm on Friday. All cabinet ministers and senior officials will attend the meeting to be held at the Secretariat. Due to rain, a part of the roof of Terminal-1 of Delhi Airport collapsed, killing one person and injuring six others. Delhiites shared videos and photos of vehicles submerged in water on the roads and long traffic jams on social media.

Electricity went off at 11 pm and came back at 9 am: MP Bhartruhari Mahtab

BJP MP from Odisha Bhartruhari Mahtab said that my house is flooded with water all around. When I tried to drain it out, the motor also got damaged. This situation is not only seen in my bungalow but also in all the surrounding bungalows. Water entered my house. Water entered the office. There should be a drainage system. Delhi and the whole country need rain and a solution for rain water is also needed. There was no electricity in my house the whole night. The power went off at 11 pm on Thursday and the light came on Friday morning at 9 am.
