Delhi Road or Goa Beach? Twitter Flooded With Sarcasm After Rains

Commuters are frustrated with incessant rains and flooded roads, and are making their displeasure felt on Twitter.

One heavy downpour is all it takes to bring Delhi and its neighbouring Gurugram and Noida to a standstill.

On Wednesday, people woke up to an overcast sky, followed by a heavy downpour that transformed Delhi roads into a Goa beach!

Yes, that’s what commuters frustrated with (regular) traffic jams and flooded roads think! People flooded (pun intended) Twitter with their angst, anger, exhaustion – all snidely laced with sarcasm.

Where are the Roads?

Heavy rains exposed Delhi. Water logging in major roads. One rain is sufficient to tarnish the image of our capital. Urban disaster!!
