Heavy rainfall lashed Noida on Monday, leading to widespread waterlogging in several low-lying areas and disrupting traffic movement. Residents reported vehicles getting stranded on submerged roads, and local authorities rushed to clear drains and ensure commuter safety.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Delhi and Gurgaon, warning of continued heavy rain and thunderstorms in the National Capital Region (NCR) over the next 24 hours. The alert urges citizens to exercise caution and avoid non-essential travel during peak rainfall periods.

Noida traffic police said several main roads, including sectors near the expressway and commercial hubs, experienced water accumulation, causing slow-moving traffic and minor disruptions to public transport. Authorities deployed pumps to drain water from critical junctions and advised motorists to follow alternate routes.

The IMD forecast predicts intermittent heavy rainfall accompanied by gusty winds, which could continue into Tuesday. Meteorologists also advised people to secure outdoor items, avoid standing water, and stay updated with local weather advisories.

Officials in Delhi and Gurgaon have urged schools, offices, and construction sites to remain vigilant, particularly in areas prone to water accumulation. They also emphasized the need for citizens to avoid waterlogged streets and exercise caution while commuting, as the monsoon-like conditions persist in the region.
