Delhi Floods Expose Crumbling Infrastructure

Heavy Rainfall in Delhi Exposes City's Drainage Woes Delhi, India - Torrential rain on Sunday, May 25th, 2025, caused widespread flooding across the Indian capital, leaving dozens of vehicles submerged and causing major traffic disruptions. Residents are expressing outrage over the city's failing drainage infrastructure, which they blame for the severity of the flooding. "The drainage system is the worst," stated Abhishek Tiwari, a local resident interviewed in the video. "No matter which government comes to power, nothing changes. The water just keeps accumulating." Another resident, speaking anonymously, added, "We have a system that is completely broken. No one maintains it, no party cares, and the workers are useless. They don't do their jobs." The flooding highlights the urgent need for improved infrastructure and maintenance in Delhi, particularly given its large population and reliance on rain for agricultural activities. The city's authorities face increasing pressure to address these persistent issues and prevent similar incidents in the future. The incident serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of urban areas to extreme weather events and the importance of robust infrastructure planning.
