Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday blamed the debris of the ongoing construction work for the Commonwealth Games for causing water logging on the roads in the national capital during the monsoon rains.
She said this while going around the sites for the mega even of Commonwealth Games and speaking to the media persons.
The Commonwealth Games 2010 to be held from October 3 to 14 will be India's biggest sporting event since the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi.
"It is true that there is a lot of debris lying around and yesterday's rains were very unusual. Even today the clouds are pretty dark; it is possible that it might rain today. So we are preparing ourselves to the best to counter that," said Dikshit.
She reviewed a couple of the venues of the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
Further, she mentioned that the debris would be cleared before 10th August, the stipulated time.
"We had informed that all the debris would be cleared before 10th August. Let the time come," Dikshit added.
Vehicular traffic in most of the main thoroughfares of New Delhi was badly affected due to waterlogged roads on when it rained for merely 90 minutes on Monday.
The cloud burst in the evening measured 51.4 mm while the thunderstorm uprooted several trees, resulting in endless traffic snarls.
People were seen wading thorough in knee-deep water while traffic crawled at snail speed causing umpteen problems to commuters.
At least 11 people, including two women and three children, were killed in rain-related incidents on Monday. (ANI)
