BJP councillor Ravinder Singh Negi was spotted on Friday morning paddling an inflatable boat through heavy waterlogging in the NH9 area as a symbolic protest against the Delhi administration.
Negi criticized the city’s lack of preparation for the monsoon, stating, “All PWD drains are overflowing. They didn’t get it cleaned ahead of the monsoon. This has led to waterlogging… Vinod Nagar has submerged.”
