Lord Indra (God of Rain) is all smiles over Delhi. May be he is mocking at the city for its poor maintenance which has been exposed after heavy rains lashed the national capital today. It may be hard to believe but just 4 hours of rain has put the city under feets of water. It's not just the suburbs but also important places like Mathura Road is clogged with water. The whole city looks like a sponge soaked with water.
Right from Indus valley Civilization, we were the architects of the modern drainage system. Unfortunately our inability in that sector has been exposed today. It is high time that the government realizes that "Prevention is better than cure". Over 70 maintenance vehicles have been dispersed to tackle the situation but with the water that is clogged on the streets, these vehicles might only add up to the traffic jam.
Let the authorities wake up to the reality that is flowing in their streets as we speak.
Only silver lining: Temperature has come down by a few degrees.
