Resulting from the increasing level of water, the traffic situation in the national capital is getting worse. However, many citizens have found moments of happiness amid the ongoing crisis. Many pictures and videos have surfaced on the internet showing people along with children playing on flooded roads filled with sewage water.
The new videos shared on social media showing people playing in sewage water have sparked a debate among netizens.

The video has now gone viral on Twitter with over 296 thousand views. Along with it, the video has sparked a wave of reactions among the netizens. Many criticised the act while others had a light-hearted reaction to the video. Commenting on the post, one of the social media users, said, "These children of educated middle class sector? Knowledge on hygiene and civic senses should be a part of curriculum. Such as picking your nose, not giving seats to ladies&seniors on public transport, grabbing or scratching dick or even farting, etc."
Making a sarcastic comment one of the social media users said, "This show How much down to Earth we Indian are. Proud Moment." While another person encouraged the act saying, "At times, I've even entertained the idea of joining this sewage water for amusement..." While there were some who got nostalgic, "We all did this when we were young. In the 80s and 90s, monsoon rains meant going out in the street and frolic."
