At least 4 dead in first heavy Delhi rains, 10 houses collapse near ITO

Low-lying areas were inundated, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal says it's not the time for 'blame game'

Rains in Delhi claimed four lives on Sunday, prompting Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tried to defend his government by blaming the lack of preparation on the coronavirus pandemic.

As the Delhi BJP charged that the very first spell of rains "exposed" the AAP government's preparations, Kejriwal said a "blame-game" should be avoided.

Many low-lying areas were inundated, the traffic came to a standstill on important roads, and at least 10 houses collapsed in a slum area in Anna Nagar, which is behind the WHO Headquarters near ITO, displacing the residents.
