At least 10 flights headed for Delhi have been diverted after the national capital witnessed heavy rains Wednesday evening.

Waterlogging was reported from several parts of the city, bringing back memories of the flooded basement at a coaching centre in Rajinder Nagar on Saturday in which three students were killed.

The road on which the coaching centre is located has been flooded again and visuals from the area show people wading through knee-deep water.
