Cricketer Gautam Gambhir is one of the victims of waterlogged Delhi and he has made his displeasure known to the Twitterverse.
On Twitter, the 34-year-old cricketer wrote-
Odd and even boats for Delhi now, maybe ? Ridiculous drainage facilities in the capital! #DelhiRains pic.twitter.com/qm6R4RlpTM

Talking about the Odd-Even scheme implemented by ruling party of Delhi, Gambhir took a subtle dig at the AAP government.
Maybe it's time we started buying boats in Delhi since the authorities responsible can't solve basic civic troubles! #DelhiRains

Currently the captain of India Blue in Duleep Trophy, Gambhir is not happy with the irresponsible behaviour of civic authorities.
But Gambhir is not the only one talking about it. US Secretary of State John Kerry addressed students at IIT-Delhi. After the downpour in the capital, he asked the attendees if they took a boat to reach the venue
Have you (students)come here in boats,? asked US Secy of State John Kerry on his arrival at IIT-Delhi #DelhiRains pic.twitter.com/O9MW17Nvg5

Kerry was supposed to visit the Gauri Shankar temple, Jama Masjid and Gurdwara Sisganj Sahib in the old Delhi area around 11 AM on Wednesday. But the waterlogged roads of the capital forced the authorities to cancel the visits.
Here are a few more reactions coming in from the capital -
Kerry is right. Need boats here. Under the AIIMS/SAFADARJUNG flyover, right now #DelhiRains pic.twitter.com/RfemtAaDvO

Under Duckworth-Lewis method, employees should be sent home to enjoy #DelhiRains over tea, pakoda & any other snack that goes with the mood.
