The yellow alert is issued after Delhi and its adjacent areas witnessed torrential rainfall for a second consecutive day on Thursday alerting the citizens to be prepared for the next two-three days.
This heavy downpour resulted in waterlogging at very places in Delhi and the National Capital Region.
The water logging and heavy rainfall had further brought the transport life in the city to a halt and resulted in massive traffic jams across several places in the region.
