Delhi is grappling with a severe flood threat as the Yamuna River’s water level has surged past the danger mark of 205.33 meters, reaching 206.02 meters at the Old Railway Bridge, with levels continuing to rise rapidly. Heavy water discharges from the Hathnikund, Wazirabad, and Okhla barrages, triggered by relentless rainfall in upstream regions, have caused the river to swell, prompting authorities to issue flood warnings. Low-lying areas like Okhla, Madanpur Khadar, and Yamuna Bazaar are at high risk, with thousands of residents evacuated to safer, elevated locations. Businesses in Monastery Market have shut down, and traders have vacated flood-prone zones. The government has urged residents to remain vigilant, with emergency measures like closing the Old Railway Bridge and restricting public movement in place. Despite clear skies, the crisis is far from over, as water released from barrages takes 24-48 hours to reach Delhi, exacerbating the situation. Authorities are intensifying efforts to manage the flood risk and ensure public safety.
