A body was found near waterlogged road under Minto Bridge on July 19.
North Delhi Mayor, Jai Prakash asked the state government to take the responsibility of the incident.
She said, "Where is Delhi government today, we can let Delhi suffer through such problems. It is our responsibility to protect Delhi from such situations.
Delhi government should not only take the responsibility of the incident but should also provide support.
And in order to avoid such situations, government should work.
Today where is Delhi government, where are their MLAs." Aam Aadmi Partyleader, Sanjay Singh said, "A driver was trying to take his vehicle out of waterlogged patch of road, leading to his death.
There're many agencies like MCD, PWD and Jal Board to deal with water logging, making it difficult to ascertain who is responsible for water logging at a particular place."
A man was found dead near flooded road under Minto Bridge on July 19. "We are monitoring everything closely and pumps were used to clear Minto Road. Road gets flooded every year. I want to say BJP that we should work together," said Deputy CM Manish Sisodia.

Delhi Congress President Anil Chaudhary accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of misleading people on lack of availability of beds and instead blaming private hospitals for the COVID-19 mess in the national capital.

Construction of 3 large hospitals, with 2609 beds, should've been completed by Dec 2019. What game is Delhi govt playing?," said Chaudhary.
