Traffic, however, came to a halt due to waterlogging. The Safdarjung Observatory recorded 29.6 mm of rain between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm, while the Lodhi Road recorded 42.6 mm, Palam 15.3 mm, Ridge 30 mm, and Aayangar 10.2 mm of rain, a meteorological department official said. Massive jams were witnessed on the Film City road near DND, Kalindi Kunj, and Rajnigandha crossing. Some commuters complained of waterlogging on the Barapulla flyover, even as the traffic crawled on NH-24 going towards Sarai Kale Khan. Peeved with the jams, residents blamed the civic authorities for not doing enough.
