Disruption in the air, and a tragedy on the ground
While many were happy about the rain, it also caused significant problems. As per reports, at Delhi airport, over 40 flights were diverted and nearly 100 were delayed because of low visibility and strong winds.
Unfortunately, the weather also turned deadly. According to a report presented by The Indian Express, in Delhi's Jaffarpur Kalan area of Dwarka, strong winds uprooted a neem tree that fell on a small building with a tube well. 26-year-old Jyoti and her three children died in the incident.
