Delhi-NCR is set to witness more rain and stormy weather on Friday, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for the region, warning of thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds reaching speeds of 50-60 km/h.

According to the IMD forecast, partly cloudy skies will persist throughout the day, with light to moderate rainfall expected across various parts of the city. Maximum temperatures are likely to hover between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius, while the minimum may range from 26 to 28 degrees Celsius.

The alert was upgraded from yellow to orange following observations of intensified weather activity. On Thursday, parts of Delhi had already experienced light showers and gusty winds reaching up to 60 km/h.

Friday could see stronger winds of up to 70 km/h, the IMD said, increasing the likelihood of waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and minor damage to infrastructure.The orange alert signifies potentially severe weather conditions that could disrupt normal life, prompting the public to remain cautious and take necessary precautions. The alert is issued when heavy rainfall is anticipated, typically exceeding 115.6 mm and up to 204.4 mm within 24 hours.

Delhi has already witnessed an unprecedented 186.4 mm of rainfall so far this May, making it the wettest May on record for the city. This irregular precipitation pattern is linked to the early advancement of the southwest monsoon, which reached Kerala on May 24, a week ahead of schedule, and Mumbai on May 26, significantly earlier than its usual onset date of June 11.

While the monsoon typically hits Delhi around June 27, the IMD has yet to specify when it will arrive in the capital this year. “We are closely monitoring the progress,” an IMD official said.

Meanwhile, Delhi’s air quality remained in the ‘moderate’ category on Thursday, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded at 151 at 4 p.m., slightly worse than the 133 measured at the same time a day earlier.

Evening showers on Thursday brought temporary relief. However, the rainfall was not intense enough to significantly offset the prevailing humidity and heat.

The IMD advises residents to stay indoors during stormy periods, avoid sheltering under trees, and secure loose outdoor items to prevent accidents or damage.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday said ‘Operation Sindoor’ is a strong response by India’s armed forces, showing the country shall never tolerate terrorism.

Indian armed forces on early Wednesday carried out missile strikes on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba’s base in Muridke.

The military strikes were conducted under ‘Operation Sindoor’ two weeks after the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.

In a post on X, Ms Sitharaman said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India will ensure that every perpetrator of terror is pursued.

“#OperationSindoor is a strong response by @adgpi, hitting at the terror hubs in Pakistan. India shall never tolerate terrorism,” Ms Sitharaman posted on X.Ms Gupta also revealed her plan to introduce an ordinance to regulate the private school fees.

“Education should be accessible and fair. We are committed to ensuring that no parent is burdened unfairly,” she said.

The Chief Minister dubbed as successful her government’s Vaya Vandana scheme, which offers citizens aged 70 and above health insurance coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh. “Around 1.5 lakh registrations have already been completed,” she said.

The BJP leader also trained her guns at the previous Aam Aadmi Party-led government, and said, “Thousands joined the movement hoping for change, but the people who claimed to have no hunger for power became consumed by it. The public’s trust was broken.” “How can the national capital be the most polluted when cleaning the Yamuna was never even considered seriously?” she said.Ms Gupta also revealed her plan to introduce an ordinance to regulate the private school fees.

The accused, identified as Rohan alias Khanka, was apprehended from Mahavir Enclave, and police recovered one stolen mobile phone and 11 tablets from his possession.

According to a press release issued by the West District Police, the incident occurred on May 13, 2025, when a burglary was reported at an office named ‘Protsaahan India Foundation’, located at Janak Cinema Complex in Janakpuri

Commuters can even travel towards Gurugram from Dwarka/Yashobhumi using the shallow tunnel and right-turn underpass.  

Besides this, the airport underpasses and the right turn underpass will be used to travel from Terminal 3 to Gurugram towards Sirhaul.

Once the trial is over, the tunnel is expected to be fully operational from June 5.

Its strategic location and layout could be highly beneficial for daily commuters and help decongest the surface roads.

Safety measures

Built with the help of advanced engineering, the tunnel has CCTV surveillance to keep track of vehicular movement. 

There is a dedicated control room as well as emergency exits to ensure commuter safety and efficiency. 

Through the trial period, the NHAI is monitoring traffic patterns to provide seamless integration into the city’s transport network. 

What is allowed?

For now, vehicles up to 4.5 meters are allowed to enter the tunnel. 

The entry of slow-moving vehicles, such as two-wheelers, and three-wheelers as well as vehicles carrying flammable materials such as oil tankers, are restricted from entering the tunnel and underpasses. 

The project is part of the Dwarka Expressway’s fourth phase. 

The 29 km-long Dwarka Expressway, which costs about Rs 9,000 crore, is from Delhi’s Mahipalpur to Kherki Daula in Gurugram. While 10.1 km of it lies in the national capital, the remaining 18.9 km stretch is in Haryana. The West District unit of Delhi Police has arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with a burglary at an NGO office in Janakpuri earlier this month.

The accused, identified as Rohan alias Khanka, was apprehended from Mahavir Enclave, and police recovered one stolen mobile phone and 11 tablets from his possession.

According to a press release issued by the West District Police, the incident occurred on May 13, 2025, when a burglary was reported at an office named ‘Protsaahan India Foundation’, located at Janak Cinema Complex in Janakpuri.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Friday began the trial run for tunnels and underpasses across the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway. The tunnel connects the expressway to the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI). It is aimed at decongesting the Delhi-Gurugram section of National Highway (NH) 48.

What to know?

The 5.1 km long tunnel has two segments. The main 3.6 km eight-lane tunnel connects the Dwarka Expressway to IGI airport, according to The Times of India. 

The other one is a 1.5 km tunnel, which has two lanes, and links the expressway to NH-48 towards Gurugram.

The tunnel, for now, has been opened for a trial run from noon to 3 PM to manage peak afternoon traffic. 

This is a significant step toward enhancing mobility and reducing congestion in Delhi NCR, besides improving connectivity to the IGI Airport from Gurugram, Manesar, Sohna, and Jaipur.According to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, the stretch open for the trial run includes a shallow tunnel connecting Dwarka/Yashobhumi with the Delhi Airport through airport underpasses. 

Commuters can even travel towards Gurugram from Dwarka/Yashobhumi using the shallow tunnel and right-turn underpass.  

Besides this, the airport underpasses and the right turn underpass will be used to travel from Terminal 3 to Gurugram towards Sirhaul.
