New Delhi, July 13: Heavy rains lashed parts of Delhi and the National Capital Region on Friday, causing waterlogging in several areas. Waterlogging in areas such as Rajiv Chowk and Tilak Bridge led to traffic congestion. Following heavy rainfall, waterlogging was reported in several areas including Akbar Road, Tilak Bridge and Rajiv Chowk.

The Delhi Secretariat was also waterlogged as water leaked in the building following the rains. According to the Meteorological department, more rainfall is likely in next few days in Delhi and NCR.
