Due to heavy rains, entry/exit is closed at Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector - 25 Metro station, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said in a tweet.

Besides, the shuttle service from Delhi Aerocity Metro station to Terminal 1-IGI Airport has been suspended.

The IMD has asked people to avoid going to areas that face water logging problems often, check for traffic congestion on your route, and be updated with weather warnings.
