IMD Weather Update: The Delhi-NCR region is experiencing significant disruptions due to ongoing heavy rainfall. The River Yamuna's water level remains above the danger threshold, and many streets in Gurugram are inundated following relentless rain. Villages in Gautam Buddha Nagar are also facing potential flooding risks.
As of 10 AM on Thursday, the water level of the Yamuna at the Old Railway Bridge was measured at 207.47 meters. The city is dealing with extensive waterlogging and the threat of flooding. Early morning footage from Loha Pul and surrounding areas depicted the swollen Yamuna River, which has caused considerable damage after days of continuous rainfall.
In Gurugram's Sector 107, severe waterlogging was evident. A police officer reported, “There is about 1-1.5 feet of water on the streets here. This is due to the drainage issues at the back… There is no waterlogging inside residential societies; the problem is limited to the roads.”
