Delhi-NCR Battles Floods: Yamuna Surges, IMD Predicts Thunderstorms

The relentless monsoon has plunged the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) into a state of crisis as the Yamuna River , swollen by incessant rainfall and massive water releases from the Hathnikund Bairaj, continues to flow well above its danger level. The rising water has inundated several parts of North and East Delhi, including Yamuna Bazar, Geeta Colony, Majnu Ka Tila, and Mayur Vihar, disrupting daily life and forcing thousands to evacuate. The city is grappling with a dual challenge: severe waterlogging from local downpours and floodwaters from the overflowing river.
