Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Metro, what could possibly link these two together ? is the question that crosses our mind when we read this title. So let me explain, Rahul Gandhi actually boarded Delhi Metro on Friday Night. He was on his way back from two days visit to Chattisgarh and got stuck in the heavy traffic jam caused due to the rains on Friday. He decided to board the Delhi Metro and reach as close as possible to his house. Metro got graced by an unlikely passenger.
The havoc caused by the water logging is made so obvious by this step taken by Rahul but the MCD Officials are unmoved by the situation. MCD commissioner K S Mehra claimed on Saturday that there was "no water logging" and that the water that accumulated on the roads drained away within the hour, before the evening traffic peaked. He further said that the drains are meant to carry a load of only 25 mm/hr, and when the rainfall is more than this, it takes a while for the water to drain off. This too happened within a short while and by evening, the roads were clear.
The Metro was graced but for all the wrong reasons. Why must Delhi suffer so with every shower? is yet to be answered. Wake up guys its high time and we need to take some difficult decisions.
