Yamuna near danger mark after relentless rain in Delhi, more showers in store
Relentless overnight rain on Raksha Bandhan paralysed the national capital on Saturday, flooding major roads, uprooting trees, and triggering a wall collapse that killed eight people in the Harinagar area. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more cloudy skies and rain for downpour, which began past midnight on Friday, submerged several residential colonies, turned arterial stretches into water channels, and brought traffic to a crawl across the city. advertisementThe Delhi Fire Service said it received a call at 9.16 am about the Harinagar wall collapse. Three fire tenders and police teams were dispatched to the spot, but officials said the cause of the collapse was yet to be determined. From the Ring Road to Mathura Road, vehicles inched forward through deep water. Severe waterlogging was reported from Anand Parbat, Zakhira Railway Underpass, Jahangirpuri, Adarsh Nagar, Shastri Bhawan, RK Puram, Moti Bagh, Kidwai Nagar, Defence Colony Underpass, and the Pragati Maidan of the underpasses connected to the Pragati Maidan transit corridor was shut for two hours due to flooding near Gates 6 and 7. The Public Works Department (PWD) said mobile pumps were deployed to clear water from key spots and claimed that most locations were restored to normal traffic flow later in the day. Even the Yamuna River swelled close to the danger mark, prompting residents in low-lying areas to consider Delhi Traffic Police issued multiple advisories on X, asking commuters to avoid heavily flooded underpasses such as Zakira and Azad Market, and suggesting alternative routes and Metro travel. The maximum temperature on Saturday plummeted to 26.4 degrees Celsius, 7.8 degrees Celsius below normal, making it the coldest August day in at least 14 years. The IMD's available records since 2011 show the previous lowest for the month was 27.9 degrees Celsius in 2012. The minimum temperature stood at 23.8 degrees Celsius, 3.2 degrees Celsius below the seasonal average. Officials said this year's figure also ranked among the 10 lowest August maximum temperatures at Safdarjung since 1969. Heavy overnight showers also lashed Noida and Greater Noida, flooding roads and bringing traffic to a crawl. In Greater Noida West, water submerged stretches outside major condominiums such as Gaur City 1 and 2, Supertech Eco Village, Panchsheel Hynish, Nirala Greenshire, and Ajnara Le Garden. Several high-rise basements were inundated.- EndsMust Watch

Heavy Rain on Rakhi Morning Chokes Key Delhi Areas
New Delhi: Heavy rain lashed the city from around 11pm on Friday until late morning on Saturday, inundating roads, causing traffic gridlocks and dampening the spirits of Raksha Bandhan celebrants, among them shopkeepers and rakhi sellers. Severe waterlogging was reported from Kidwai Nagar, RK Puram, Vasant Kunj, APS Colony, and Munirka in the southern areas of the capital. In the central regions, Shastri Bhawan, Panchkuian Marg, ITO, Minto Road and areas around Bharat Mandapam were choked by traffic mired in waterlogged roads. In west Delhi, Punjabi Bagh and Dhaula Kuan and in east Delhi, Laxmi Nagar, Patparganj and Mayur Vihar were inundated, while Mathura Road, Sangam Vihar, Tughlakabad and Madangir in southeast Delhi were drowned. The Zakhira and the Azad Market underpasses had to be shut due to flooding. The markets were hit as well. Kamla Nagar Market Traders' Association president Nitin Gupta said, "The women selling rakhi had to cease business when rainwater choked the area." Amit Gupta, joint secretary, New Delhi Traders' Association, complained, "Outer Circle at H Block and Middle Circle behind A and B Blocks in Connaught Place were waterlogged." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Certificate in Technology MIT-TLIP Apply Now Undo Just last week, he noted, the same spots had suffered flooding. At Sadar Bazar, Rakesh Yadav, head of the traders' association, reported, "Rainwater inundated the roads. Since the sewage lines are clogged, the water couldn't flow." The festive rush compounded the problem, with large crowds thronging metro stations to avoid traffic-clogged roads.

In Saket, water was ankle-deep, while Jagdamba Prasad, member of Mayur Vihar Phase III RWA, said, "Our locality was drowned on Raksha Bandhan and people could not reach their destinations on time. The clogged sewerage caused dirty water to enter some houses." Similar problems were reported by Laxmi Nagar RWA president Ajay Gupta, who said, "It took one hour for the accumulated water to recede on its own. " However, New Delhi Municipal Council reported no incident of waterlogging complaints in areas under its jurisdiction. Vice-chairman Kuljeet Chahal said that NDMC's Integrated Command and Control Centre had received only minor complaints about water accumulation. An MCD official said, "All permanent and temporary pumps had been stationed at waterlogging-prone areas in advance, so by late afternoon we were able to drain the water and decongest the affected areas." One of the main underpasses in the Pragati Maidan transit corridor had to be shut. "There was water accumualtion near Gates No. 6 and 7 on Mathura Road due to which we had to shut the tunnel and divert the traffic for two hours," said a PWD official. "Most waterlogging spots were cleared by afternoon." Delhi Fire Service also recorded one complaint at 10 am from Bhogal underpass and claimed to have resolved it promptly. Indeed, many areas recovered faster than in earlier years. At 11am, areas under the Defence Colony flyover in front of Lajpat Nagar I were submerged, with vehicles in six inches of water. The railway underbridge nearby was in even deeper water, forcing motorists to seek a hasty U-turn. Sections of Bheeshma Pitamah Marg and roads near Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and Dhaula Kuan were also waterlogged. In the second half of the day, the water in these zones had receded. Traffic flowed more smoothly past ITO, AIIMS and IP Estate, marking a significant difference from previous years when inundation lasted hours, if not the entire day. Babu Das, who works at an eatery in Lajpat Nagar, said, "Big machines come frequently to clean the sewers, so water is flowing easily through the drains. Earlier drains were not cleaned as frequently and so rainwater took hours to drain away." Not surprisingly, PWD minister Parvesh Verma posted on X, "Where water used to accumulate every monsoon, now traffic passes through without stopping. This change didn't happen by chance, our govt is continuously working to eliminate waterlogging." AAP stalwar Atishi, however, remonstrated in a letter to CM Rekha Gupta: "Mismanagement by the 4-engine BJP govt has not only submerged Delhi roads, but caused a water crisis in Kalkaji. The Giri Nagar pumping station is completely submerged. And the people of Giri Nagar, Kalkaji, Govindpuri and Govindpuri Extn are facing days of water crisis."
