Delhi NCR receives light showers as monsoon's parting gift

New Delhi, Sep 22: Even as monsoon wasn't very kind to Delhi NCR this year, it is finally giving some relief to the city in what looks like the season's 'parting gift' to the region. Delhi NCR finally received light to moderate rain on Thursday which is expected to continue for the next two to three days.

Some parts of Delhi's National Capital Region (NCR) on Thursday received light to moderate rainfall on Thursday. The IMD (India Meteorological Department) has also issued yellow alert for the day and has predicted that the rain may continue for the next two or three days.

In its tweet, Delhi police said, " Traffic Alert 'As per IMD report 'Thunderstorm with light to moderate intensity rain would occur over Delhi and adjoining areas.'
