Delhi braces for more rain as IMD sounds yellow alert: All you need to know
Live MintNew Delhi recorded its wettest day in four decades as government officials sounded a flood alert on Monday. The press release shared at 1:45 pm also warned of “moderate to high flash flood threat” in certain areas including Delhi. Earlier we were feeling that the water level would cross 205 meters on June 11, but it has crossed 205 meters today itself because more water is being released from Haryana," Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj told ANI earlier today. The water level in Yamuna has been rising continuously as Haryana released more water into the river from the Hathnikund barrage amid rains across northwest India including the national capital. The Delhi Traffic Police had issued a situation alert of water logging at several places, uprooting of trees, underpasses were inundated such as under the Minto bridge, the Pragati Maidan tunnel and the Kalindi Kunj underpass were flooded.
