  "account": "Delhi-NCR experienced heavy rainfall on Saturday morning, leaving roads waterlogged and traffic congested along major routes. Airlines issued travel advisories for passengers flying from Indira Gandhi International Airport, warning of potential delays. The India Meteorological Department forecasted continued heavy rain and strong winds for the region. A motorcade rehearsal for the upcoming BRICS Summit, set for September 12-13, 2026, further contributed to traffic disruptions. Delhi Traffic Police and Gurugram Police diverted traffic in several key areas, including along Road No. 210 from Rotary Chowk to DJB Chowk and Omaxe. Comuters were advised to avoid this stretch and use Road No. 224 instead. Additionally, waterlogged roads near Shiv Murti caused significant congestion on the Gurugram-Delhi lane. Commuters were urged to take alternate routes, such as using MG Road or Aya Nagar border to enter Delhi. The Delhi Traffic Police reported waterlogging in various parts of the city, including Terminal 3 at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Mahipalpur, Mehrauli, Vasant Kunj, and around Apollo Hospital on Mathura Road. Traffic restrictions and security measures were heightened due to the BRICS Summit rehearsals, leading to heavier traffic on certain roads.",
