Several districts of Uttar Pradesh, including regions adjoining the National Capital Region (NCR), are grappling with flood-like conditions as the Yamuna continues to swell following days of heavy monsoon showers.
Drone visuals from Noida’s Sector 135 at 10:15 AM on Friday revealed vast stretches under water, with overflowing streams breaching urban limits. In Delhi, the Nigam Bodh Ghat remained submerged, prompting authorities to deploy high-capacity pumps in an effort to drain the accumulated water. Officials warned that the situation remains precarious as river levels show no sign of receding.

In Prayagraj, the flood threat has intensified as both the Ganga and Yamuna rivers rose sharply after upstream dams released excess water. Combined with persistent rainfall, the release has left several low-lying areas vulnerable, pushing local authorities to stay on high alert.
