A busy roadway under the IIT flyover caved in on Saturday after heavy rain. Although no injuries were reported, the collapse of the small stretch of road disrupted traffic in the area.
Authorities in Delhi remain concerned about the rising water level of the Yamuna river, as water is continually released from the Hathnikund Barrage in Haryana into the river. On Sunday, at 8 am, the water level in the Yamuna reached 205.28 metres after Hathnikund Barrage released 17,827 cusecs of water.
Delhi’s administration has ordered people who live in low-lying areas to move to higher ground due to flood threats.
