IMD also predicted at around 7:30 pm, that thunderstorm with moderate to heavy intensity rain could occur over Ghaziabad's Indirapuram, and many places of Delhi, including Rohini, Bawana, Burari, Badili, Sangam Vihar, Akshardham, ITO, Lajpatnagar, Lodi road, Safdarjung, and Rajiv Chowk during the night, today.

An inquiry is being made into the work of the civic bodies and the person's death at waterlogged Minto Bridge following incessant rainfall in the national capital on July 19.

In another incident earlier, a bus had got stuck in a waterlogged road under Minto Bridge, following which fire department personnel had to rescue people on-board.
