Delhi-NCR Rains Live Updates: Road leading to Yamuna Bank Metro station inaccessible due to floodwaters; SpiceJet issues travel advisory
Heavy rain in Delhi and NCR led to severe waterlogging, traffic delays and a sharp rise in Yamuna water levels. The river swelled past 207 metres, the third-highest mark since 1963, submerging parts of Ring Road, Civil Lines, Bela Road, Sonia Vihar and Yamuna Bazar. More than 12,000 people were displaced as floodwater entered homes and markets. Cremations at Nigambodh Ghat were halted, and several villages including Old Usmanpur, Garhi Mendu, Jharoda Kalan and Mungeshpur were evacuated.
The NDRF deployed teams for rescue and set up relief camps at 38 locations such as Yamuna Khadar and Mayur Vihar. In Mungeshpur, a drain breach caused waist-to-chest deep water, forcing families into municipal schools converted into shelters.
The crisis followed heavy discharge from Hathnikund barrage in Haryana, where release rose to 1.78 lakh cusecs, far above the normal. Weather officials expect rainfall in Uttarakhand to reduce, which may ease inflows into Yamuna.

The IMD predicted moderate rain in Delhi with thunderstorms on September 6. Rainfall in Uttarakhand is expected to ease, likely reducing inflows. Delhi officials said preparedness was stronger than during the July 2023 floods, with all ITO barrage gates operational and regulators secured to control water flow.
Heavy rain lashed Delhi and NCR, causing traffic disruption, waterlogging and worsening the Yamuna flood situation. The river crossed 207 metres in the afternoon, rising to 207.43m by night — the third-highest level since systematic records began in 1963 — and inundated areas including Ring Road, Civil Lines, Bela Road, Sonia Vihar and Yamuna Bazar. More than 12,000 people were displaced, while cremations at Nigambodh Ghat were suspended due to flooding.
Rescue and relief operations were stepped up, with the NDRF deploying multiple teams and relocating families from Old Usmanpur, Garhi Mendu, Jharoda Kalan and Mungeshpur. Camps were established at 38 locations such as Yamuna Khadar and Mayur Vihar, providing temporary shelter to thousands. A breach in the Mungeshpur drain caused severe flooding, forcing about 2,000 residents into municipal schools converted into shelters. Civil Lines’ Monastery Market and Noida’s Sector 167 also reported waterlogging, prompting residents and shopkeepers to shift their belongings.
The Delhi government reviewed the situation, with senior officials and ministers inspecting affected zones. Coordination was initiated with neighbouring states for assistance. District magistrates reported that around 10,000 to 12,000 people had been rescued, with many taking refuge in tents while some moved to relatives’ homes.
The crisis intensified after heavy discharge from the Hathnikund barrage in Haryana, where water release rose to 1.78 lakh cusecs by evening, far above the normal level of 50,000. Authorities said arrangements had been made to avoid a repeat of the July 2023 floods, when the Yamuna touched a record 208.66m, with all ITO barrage gates kept functional and key regulators closed.
The India Meteorological Department has forecast moderate rain in Delhi with thunderstorms on September 6. Rainfall in Uttarakhand is expected to decline from Thursday, which could ease the water flow into the Yamuna.
