Drone visuals reveal the extent of severe waterlogging in Delhi as the Yamuna River's waters have entered various parts of the city. Following heavy and continuous rainfall, the Yamuna River's water level has risen, causing it to overflow and inundate several areas.

The rising water levels have led to significant waterlogging in areas such as the Monastery Market area and Kashmere Gate. In the Civil Lines area, vehicles have been submerged and building compounds flooded on Bela Road due to the overflowing river. The Yamuna River continues to flow above the danger level after the heavy rainfall on Wednesday. Authorities have relocated people living in low-lying areas near the Yamuna River in anticipation of further flooding.

The overflowing Yamuna has impacted several key areas, including Loha Pul and Kashmere Gate. Water has entered the Nigambodh Ghat, Delhi's oldest cremation ground, forcing a halt to operations. Relief camps near Mayur Vihar-Phase 1 have also been flooded, adding to the distress of those displaced. Shopkeepers in Monastery Market have taken preventive measures by removing their goods from shops, and the market will remain closed for the next 4-5 days. The old Yamuna Bridge, also known as Loha Pul, has been closed to vehicular traffic.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has reported that the approach road to the Yamuna Bank Metro Station is inaccessible due to the surge in the Yamuna's water levels. Commuters have been advised to plan their journeys accordingly and consider alternate routes.

Traffic has been severely disrupted due to the waterlogging, with heavy congestion reported in areas such as Kashmere Gate and near the Kalindi Kunj metro station. Key roads, including Mathura Road, Krishna Menon Marg, Feroz Shah Kotla Road, and Arjangarh, have experienced severe waterlogging, slowing traffic and stranding commuters. Floodwaters have also reached Ring Road and Outer Ring Road, affecting movement between Majnu ka Tilla and the Salimgarh bypass.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for more rain in Delhi and adjoining areas like Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad. A red alert has been issued for Northeast Delhi, East Delhi, Central Delhi, and South Delhi, while the rest of the area is under an orange alert. The IMD has predicted moderate rain with thunderstorms for September 6.

As a preventive measure, authorities have closed all 13 regulator drains connected to the Yamuna to prevent river backflow into low-lying areas. Sandbags have been placed at stormwater drain mouths from Vasudev Ghat to Yamuna Bank. The Public Works Department has deployed 32 boats, 89 mobile pumps, and 18 permanent pumping stations.

The Yamuna's water level reached 207.48 meters at Delhi's Old Railway Bridge on Thursday morning. Floodwaters have reached areas close to the Delhi Secretariat and low-lying areas like Mayur Vihar Phase I.

The NDRF (National Disaster Response Force) has been deployed to carry out rescue operations in affected areas such as Yamuna Bazar. More than a dozen NDRF teams are on the ground, and 38 relief camps have been set up in Yamuna Khadar, Mayur Vihar, and other affected zones. Thousands of people have been shifted to tents or schools converted into shelters, and cattle have also been evacuated from low-lying villages.
