Many areas of Delhi and NCR have been submerged in water. Pictures and videos of water entering the submerged roads, submerged cars and houses are filled on social media. Yamuna is due to floods in Delhi, while the problem of drainage in Gurugram is being held responsible.
Yamuna water level above the danger mark
The Yamuna River in Delhi has reached its third highest level in six decades. The water level of Yamuna was recorded at 207.47 meters at 8 am on Thursday morning, which is far above the danger mark 205.33 meters. Yesterday due to heavy rains, the water level of Yamuna reached 208.66 meters of kerut level. According to pictures taken from satellite, the Yamuna river has spread over 7 kilometers from its embankments in some areas.
Water filled in low -lying areas, rescue continues
Many low -lying areas of Delhi have been submerged due to the rise of Yamuna river. Satellite analysis has shown that Geeta Colony, Mayur Vihar Phase I, Yamuna Bazaar, Ring Road (towards Wazirabad), Civil Lines, Sonia Vihar, Kashmiri Gate, Bawana, Mukundpur, Sarita Vihar and Janakpuri can submerge water.
In the Yamuna market, people were rushed to safe places while walking in water to the knees. People living in low -lying areas have been rescued and evacuated to safe places.
Waterlogging problem in Gurugram too
Along with Delhi, heavy rains in Gurugram have disturbed their lives. On Monday, NH-48 was jammed in Gurugram due to 100 mm of rain in just four hours and roads were submerged. Poor drainage and rainwater management have been described as the cause of Gurugram’s plight. Satellite pictures near Palam, also around Udyog Vihar and Najafgarh Lake flood Viewed
