Delhi and its suburbs recorded light rainfall on Sunday under the influence of a fresh Western Disturbance. Soon after, it started drizzling, the Delhi Fire Department received multiple calls complaining about "oil rain" from all over the city.
As per reports, many bikers slipped and fell on the road because of the slippery oil-like material spilt on the road. As a precautionary measure, the police closed some roads and Fire Brigade was called and the road was washed.
"Soon after rainfall stopped, we received a total of 57 calls for assistance. Due to rains, dust and other materials got accumulated on the roads which led to slippery conditions," said Atul Garg, Director, Delhi Fire Service.
"These calls were made mostly by the motorists who faced difficulties to move ahead as the materials had accumulated on the way," he added. The fire department is investigating the matter.
