New Delhi, July 28 - There were massive traffic jams in key intersections, many places continued to be waterlogged and several underpasses were still submerged -- the nightmare of Monday's deluge spilled over to the morning Tuesday and commuters faced a harrowing time getting to work.

Traffic lights were not working in several key areas and long power cuts seemed to be the order of the day, the morning after 126 mm of rainfall Monday evening almost submerged the city and its suburbs. The met department has forecast more heavy showers later Tuesday.

Traffic snarls were seen at places like Dhaula Kaun, Minto Road, Moolchand flyover, where the underpass was still waterlogged, Badarpur and parts of east Delhi connecting Noida and Ghaziabad.

Many underpasses were completely waterlogged, resulting in complete chaos on the arterial Ring Road. The flooding of the Moolchand underpass resulted in traffic piling up to Sarai Kale Khan on one side and the Africa Avenue crossing on the other, each about four km away. All cross roads were also jammed as a consequence.

After a bitter experience travelling during Monday night's downpour, many Delhiites left for their workplaces really early, but still got caught in a sea of vehicles.
