Delhi-NCR Rains Live Updates: Road leading to Yamuna Bank Metro station inaccessible due to floodwaters; SpiceJet issues travel advisory

Heavy rain in Delhi and NCR led to severe waterlogging, traffic delays and a sharp rise in Yamuna water levels. The river swelled past 207 metres, the third-highest mark since 1963, submerging parts of Ring Road, Civil Lines, Bela Road, Sonia Vihar and Yamuna Bazar. More than 12,000 people were displaced as floodwater entered homes and markets. Cremations at Nigambodh Ghat were halted, and several villages including Old Usmanpur, Garhi Mendu, Jharoda Kalan and Mungeshpur were evacuated.The NDRF deployed teams for rescue and set up relief camps at 38 locations such as Yamuna Khadar and Mayur Vihar. In Mungeshpur, a drain breach caused waist-to-chest deep water, forcing families into municipal schools converted into shelters.The crisis followed heavy discharge from Hathnikund barrage in Haryana, where release rose to 1.78 lakh cusecs, far above the normal. Weather officials expect rainfall in Uttarakhand to reduce, which may ease inflows into Yamuna.
