The Pragati Maidan tunnel here has been opened for vehicular traffic after remaining closed for four days due to waterlogging following heavy rainfall in the national capital, police said on Thursday. With many parts of the city under water on Thursday, restrictions were imposed on vehicular movement on some roads, leading to traffic congestion including around Pragati Maidan.
"Pragati Maidan Tunnel is now open for vehicular traffic. Commuters are advised to plan their journey accordingly," the Delhi Traffic Police said in a tweet.
The tunnel was closed for traffic movement due to waterlogging as well for cleaning and maintenance work on Sunday, according to officials.
The traffic police on Thursday issued an advisory about the restrictions and regulation of vehicular movement due to the rise in water level of the Yamuna river.
