Waterlogged outer Circle at Connaught placeNEW DELHI: Heavy rain continued to lash Delhi-NCR on Tuesday, a day after torrential downpours brought large parts of the national capital to a standstill, triggering widespread waterlogging, traffic snarls and disruption to daily life. In the wake of Monday's heavy rainfall, the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) directed all corporate offices, government departments and private educational institutions across the Gurgaon to switch to work-from-home and remote learning modes on Tuesday.
