Monsoon is causing disruption in people’s daily routine all over India. Amid the continuous rainfall and a red alert issued by the India Meteorological Department for very heavy rains authorities have announced that schools were closed on Friday and Saturday in Palghar.

Meanwhile, Delhi also faced heavy rains, causing flood-like situations in low-lying areas due to the swollen Yamuna river. On Sunday evening, the Yamuna river in Delhi crossed the danger mark once again due to an increase in discharge from the Hathnikund Barrage.  As the weather remains unpredictable and challenging, citizens are urged to stay updated with official weather advisories and follow instructions from local authorities to ensure their safety during this period of heavy rainfall and potential floods.

The rising water levels have raised concerns about the possibility of another spell of floods in the capital. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and issuing announcements for residents in low-lying areas to vacate to safer locations.
