Delhi witnessed its heaviest spell of monsoon rain as overnight showers flooded roads, triggered massive traffic jams and disrupted normal life across the capital. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a Red Alert, warning of more heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and lightning. Several parts of Delhi, including Dwarka, Greater Kailash, Munirka, Badarpur and Sadar Bazar, reported severe waterlogging. Major routes such as Ring Road, Outer Ring Road, NH-48 and the Delhi-Noida Expressway witnessed long traffic snarls. The heavy rain also turned deadly after an under-construction building collapsed in Rohini, killing three people.

Dwarka Expressway becomes India’s first highway to adopt an AI-powered Smart Traffic System under the latest 2023 NHAI guidelines. Spanning 56.46 km, the project was developed by IHMCL and is being hailed as a national benchmark for AI-driven traffic control and road safety.
