While the Delhi Police had reopened a few roads after the water level at Yamuna river receded, police said the traffic movement is still affected on arterial roads due to waterlogging.
Police said many areas reported waterlogging due to rains, overflowing sewer water and river water.
For the last few days, police said they have been keeping a strict vigil on the roads for safety of citizens as the water level at Yamuna river crossed the 207-208 metres danger mark.
Even as the water level is now receding, several roads are still inundated due to drain water and the incessant rains over the weekend.
The Traffic Police said vehicular movement is affected on the Ring Road due to overflow of sewer water near IP flyover from Rajghat to Nizamuddin carriageway. The Ring Road along with Pragati Maidan were reopened after Friday night. However, the rains and drain water has affected the roads.
“Commuters are advised to take alternate route via Shanti Van, Rajghat, JLN Marg, BSZ Marg to avoid the stretch” said the police.
