Delhi Flood News Today Live Updates: Heavy rains returned to Delhi again as the capital continues to reel under floodwaters. Delhi is already having a hard time with waterlogged roads while parts of the city remain inundated owing to record-breaking rise in water levels of the Yamuna river. Meanwhile, a fire broke out on the ninth floor of the DCM building at Barakhamba Road on Saturday evening. Ten fire tenders have been rushed to the site, informed Delhi Fire Service Chief Atul Garg.
The water level in the Yamuna in Delhi is showing a receding trend, Delhi Divisional Commissioner Ashwani Kumar informed on Saturday. He said that the situation in the national capital’s flooded areas is also improving. According to the Central Water Commission, the water level had come down to 206.97 metres at 5 pm on Saturday from its peak of 208.66 metres at 8 pm on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday appealed to people of the city not to take selfies or swim in flooded areas as it could be fatal and said the threat of floods was not over yet. His appeal came a day after three boys drowned in a ditch while bathing in floodwaters in northwest Delhi’s Mukundpur Chowk area. They drowned in the floodwater-filled ditch while they were taking a bath. The boys were identified as Piyush, 13, Nikhil, 10 and Ashish, 13. All are residents of H Block at Jahangirpuri. The Delhi Metro, however, said no such incident took place at the site.
