Major roads still waterlogged in Delhi as Yamuna continues to overflow

National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams carried out rescue operations in the low-lying areas near Pragati Maidan late on Saturday night as the Yamuna river continues to overflow, officials said.

Due to waterlogging, nearby areas and important routes in Delhi are still impacted.

Workers from the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) also carried out a special night drive to remove water from Mathura Road, close to the Supreme Court area, as the area and important roads are still flooded from Saturday's heavy rains.


Heavy rains lashed different parts of Delhi on Saturday and caused waterlogging and traffic congestion across the capital.

Hundreds of people who were saved from low-lying area spent the night in the Mayur Vihar relief camp.

According to a Delhi Traffic Police advisory issued late on Saturday night, traffic movement is affected on some roads due to waterlogging and uprooting of trees.

Commuters have been advised to avoid routes like Khan Market, Teen Murti round-about, GGR-PDR, A-Point to W-Point, Kamla Express Building, Andrews Ganj, Khanpur T-point, Under Railway Bridge at Bhairon Marg among others as roads in these areas remain water-logged.

According to reports, after a fresh downpour on Saturday, these locations experienced serious waterlogging. Commuters complained about the inconvenience they faced in reaching their destination.

"Due to rains in evening hours, some roads have been affected by waterlogging and fallen trees. Commuters are advised to plan their journey accordingly and avoid these stretches for their convenience," the Delhi traffic police advisory read.
