Delhi flood affected areas: Delhi and NCR are battling floods these days. The water level of the Yamuna river has reached above the danger mark and its effect is directly seen on the low -lying areas of the capital. People are running in search of safe places with goods from their homes. Somewhere water has penetrated inside the houses, then the roads have turned into a pond. At the same time, many luxury farms of Greater Noida have been submerged in water. This view is forcing people to think whether Delhi is now going to be in the grip of a big water crisis?
Why did the water level of Yamuna rise and how did flood situation happen?
The biggest reason for the flood is the increase in the water level of Yamuna continuously. According to reports, last week there was heavy rains in the Himalayan regions, due to which a large amount of water was released from Hathini Kund Barrage. This water has now reached Delhi. As a result, the water level of Yamuna crossed the danger mark and started filling water in the low -lying areas.
Which areas have the biggest impact of floods?
Areas such as Yamuna Bazar, Monastery Market, Vasudev Ghat, Nigam Bodh Ghat, Geeta Colony and Majnu Ka Tila in Delhi have been fully affected. Water has reached homes and temples here. Corporation Bodh Ghat, which is the biggest place of the funeral, has been closed due to drowning in water.
What was the effect on Greater Noida and NCR?
Not only Delhi, but also in Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, the situation has become serious. Greater Noida’s expensive and luxury farm houses are submerged in water. Many houses in Ghaziabad and Noida have also been flooded, due to which the life of the people has been disturbed.
What was the effect on airports and flights?
Delhi airport has also seen the impact of floods. More than 340 flights have been delayed here. Passengers have to wait for hours. It is a clear indication that floods have affected not only people’s homes but also transport and connectivity.
What steps did the administration and NDRF take?
The administration is on alert in view of the flood situation. NDRF has deployed 5 of its teams. Relief camps have been set up and thousands of people have been evacuated to safe places. DIG Mohsen Shahedi has clearly stated that “the situation is still under control, but teams are ready for any emergency.”
Can the situation be worse in Delhi?
The biggest question is whether the situation will worsen in the coming days. Experts say that the situation may become more serious if the rain is further intensified and more water is released from the barrage. In such a situation, the people of Delhi-NCR need to be vigilant and follow the administration guidelines.
