Amid the intensifying rain spells in the northern region, the streets in Delhi have turned into streams and marketplaces into pools of murky water. Residents of low-lying areas in Delhi, amid the concerning times, have been rushed to save their lives and belongings. With the Yamuna river already flowing well above the danger level, authorities are constantly monitoring the situation.

As reported by news agency PTI, from shopkeepers in Majnu ka Tila to families in Madanpur Khadar and Badarpur, people are waiting for the waters to recede.

The Yamuna was flowing at 207 metres on Wednesday, 3rd September, at around 1 pm. While the authorities have been successful in evacuating people from low-lying areas, the situation is still not fully under control. News agency PTI has also reported that the Old Railway Bridge has been closed to traffic.
