Water filled even in bungalows of dignitaries in Delhi, employees took SP MP in their arms to the car, watch video
New Delhi. Rainfall has become a disaster for the people of Delhi who are waiting for rain due to the scorching heat. Roads have become ponds at many places in Delhi. The situation is such that Lutyens Zone, which is considered a VVIP area, is also surrounded by the problem of waterlogging. Rainwater has reached inside the bungalows of ministers and MPs located in Lutyens Delhi. The bungalows of many dignitaries including Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav, BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab have been flooded. Even the official residence of Delhi's Water Minister Atishi on Mathura Road in front of Pragati Maidan has been flooded.

While posting a video on social media, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor wrote, this is the scene right outside my house in Lutyens Delhi. When I woke up in the morning, my entire house was submerged in a foot of water. Every room, carpet and furniture, everything was ruined. Apparently the storm water drains in the neighborhood are clogged, so there is no place for the water to drain and the electricity has been turned off since 6 am for fear of people getting electrocuted.
Amazed and impressed that this tweet elicited, within minutes, a phone call from the Lieutenant-Governor of Delhi himself! Shri VK Saxena was courteous & responsive and explained the constraints on effective action arising from the division of responsibilities between Union and…
