Almost every place in India is experiencing moderate to heavy rainfall. However, this year, rain is making headlines everywhere! From waterlogging streets in cities to landslides, rain has been a reason for a number of things. And this time, it has given birth to a new river in Delhi’s Connaught Place, that is Connaught river!
Have You Seen The Connaught River In Delhi?
A Twitter user, Ankit.Today, shared a video of Connaught Place in Delhi. It featured the streets flooded due to rain. The tweet was captioned as ‘Delhi is not getting as much love and attention as Bengaluru’. And the user appealed to people to be fair to the capital! But, most importantly, he named the flooded road as ‘Connaught River’! And that’s how Delhi had a new river!
Most Twitter users are agreeing with the user and state that they have the same feeling. A user stated that though Bengaluru has the tech industry, Delhi has the superpower of turning roads into rivers. He further states that the Indian version of Venice is here. Another user replies saying ‘Reduce the speed of your boat’.
One of the users countered by replying that waterlogging is a temporary problem and traffic jams are the main problem in Delhi.
