Record rain batters Capital, rivers in spate across North
Four people were killed as Delhi experienced heavy rainfall, receiving 261mm of rain in just over 24 hours, causing flooding and waterlogged roads. The downpour is a result of a rare interaction between monsoon winds and moist winds from the west. The city has already received nearly 47% of its average monsoon season rainfall in the first nine days of July. The government has closed schools and cancelled leaves for workers, while officials and ministers survey the situation. The intensity of rain is expected to reduce from Monday.
