Airport faces disruption in services after heavy rain, 10 flights to Delhi diverted

At least 10 Delhi-bound flights have been diverted between 7.30 pm to 8.00 pm (1930 hours-2000 hours) due to bad weather, said airport sources on Wednesday. Eight flights were from Jaipur and two from Lucknow, they added. The development comes after heavy rains lashed the Delhi-NCR area this evening. The incessant rain caused waterlogging and traffic congestion in several



areas in the national capital area. 

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a 'red' alert after Delhi-NCR received much-need heavy rain which provided people relief from unbearable humidity.

The National Flash Flood Guidance Bulletin has included Delhi in its list of 'areas of concern', the weather office said.
