Heavy rains lashed parts of Delhi on Monday with strong winds causing power outages at several places in the city.
The change in weather brought much-needed respite to the residents who suffered under a sultry morning, and days of scorching heat. The rain was accompanied by roaring clouds and strong winds that swept the city at a speed of 50 km/hr.
The force of winds was such that several AC units at Express Building on the Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg broke away and were on the verge of falling down.
A brief video showing the precariously dangling ACs at the building which houses several media firms was shared by a journalist on Twitter.
