Gautam Buddh Nagar saw continuous rainfall since Thursday as drizzles continued on Friday evening, leading to waterlogging in certain parts of Noida and Greater Noida. Congestion on roads due to the rains was also reported from parts of the district, especially during the peak traffic hours in the morning and in the evening, even as police said the situation is largely under control in the twin towns adjoining Delhi. In a 24-hour period ending on Friday morning, the district recorded 15 mm of rainfall -- a 689-per cent departure from normal for this time of the year, according to the weather department.
