This is a paradox of the situation, as on one hand we have successfully sent Chandrayaan 3 to explore water on the south pole of the moon, on the other hand, the national capital of India is facing a deluge of water. Lo and behold, it has not rained in Delhi so much, but Pandava’s Indraprastha is flooded. The Yamuna river in Delhi witnessed an unprecedented surge causing severe flooding in nearby areas and affecting streets, public facilities and private infrastructure. Residents in the affected areas are grappling with odds and adversary in the face of unprecedented events. The authorities evacuated as many as 16,564 people and around 14,534 of them took refuge in tents pitched by the Delhi government and under flyovers.

People marooned

Thousands of people were compelled to seek refuge on the road. Schools, colleges, crematoriums and even water treatment plants in Delhi were closed as overflowing Yamuna inundated the national capital. As per media reports, the water level of the Yamuna, all-time high on Thursday, is gradually receding, however several parts in Delhi, including Supreme court, ITO, Rajghat, iconic Lal Qila among others are confronting the challenges of flood. As people were on Thursday battling with flood, five gates of the ITO barrage were reportedly jammed, spelling more trouble. The crops planted on hundreds of acres in Delhi’s Madanpur Khadar were destroyed owing to flooding in the areas.  According to a trader’s body: “An estimated Rs 200 crore worth of business has been affected due to rains and flooding in parts of the national capital.”

Commuters faced difficulties as traffic was diverted due to waterlogging at ITO road, a key stretch connecting east Delhi to Lutyens’s Delhi. “No vehicular traffic will be allowed on Mahatma Gandhi Marg from Sarai Kale Khan towards IP Flyover due to overflow of drain water near WHO Building. Commuters are advised to avoid the stretch,” the Delhi Traffic Police said in a tweet. The Delhi police has also imposed section 144 CrPC as a precautionary measure in the flood-prone areas in Delhi.

Blame games: People in knee-deep trouble

Political blame games have erupted between the ruling party Aam Aadmi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party amidst people are in knee-deep trouble in flood-like situations.

BJP’s IT cell head Amit Malviya said that Arvind Kejriwal is responsible for Delhi floods and Yamuna inundating streets of Delhi and adjoining areas. He added, “Despite several promises to clean the Yamuna, no dredging has been done ever since Kejriwal came to power. Sewer lines have not been desilted for the last 8 years. Even this year, drains that were to be desilted till 15th June, have not been cleared. There is no drainage plan for the city.”

AAP leader and PWD Minister Atishi Marlena tweeted, “Ecosystems are not divided by political boundaries. Not just north India, the whole world is witnessing large-scale climatic catastrophes. The amount of rainfall this year in Delhi, Himachal, Haryana etc. is unprecedented by far. And this is exactly why the Yamuna is flooding, as one common river basin that goes through several states.”

BJP leader Manoj Tiwari said of the flood situation: “I had been constantly alerting (the government) over this (flood) threat. But the Arvind Kejriwal government didn’t wake up.”

The Congress attacked the AAP government in Delhi over the flood-like situation, describing it as a “man-made crisis” and not a natural disaster. Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate told news agency PTI, “The government needs to step in. It has happened because of a man-made crisis, this is not a natural disaster. Drains are not clear, water bodies have been taken over, (there is) illegal occupation of land…”

“Where is the Delhi chief minister? Looks like he said it seriously that he would make Delhi (a) land of lakes,” Shrinate said in a swipe at Arvind Kejriwal.

PM Modi enquires about flood from France

Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena on Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi called him up over the phone from France to enquire about the flood and waterlogging situation in the national capital.

“Honourable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji called from France to enquire about the waterlogging and flood situation in Delhi and the efforts being made to deal with it,” Saxena said.

Devastating 1978 Delhi floods

The devastating Delhi flood of 1978 was a natural disaster that occurred in the national capital. In July 1978, heavy monsoon rains lashed the city, leading to massive flooding and widespread destruction. The flood was one of the worst in Delhi’s history and resulted in the loss of many lives and extensive damage to infrastructure. The then Indira Gandhi-led union government had to deploy Indian Air Force choppers to drop food packets and relief materials among the flood victims.

The 1978 flood served as a wake-up call for Delhi’s authorities, leading to a re-evaluation of the city’s drainage and flood management systems. Subsequent measures were taken to improve infrastructure, including the construction of additional stormwater drains and reservoirs. These initiatives aimed to enhance the city’s resilience to future flooding events. The 2023 Delhi flood must be taken on a serious note to refurbish the infrastructure to avert such a situation in the face of climatic challenges becoming formidable with each passing year.

Every year the Monsoon season in Delhi NCR brings a host of challenges and difficulties for its residents. This time again it pounded Delhi-NCR badly and paralyzed daily life of people dropping bombshells on the hustling bustling of weekend markets. Schools in Delhi NCR remained closed and administration appealed residents not to leave their houses except for essential work. The incessant rains caused catastrophic devastation in the hill and plains of North India for the last three days. It unleashed death and destruction, with around 38 lost their lives in landslides and other rain-related incidents. National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams are on their toes in four North Indian states (Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Haryana) to fend off challenges of heavy downpours and floods.

It was a rare occurrence that monsoons landed in Delhi and Mumbai last weekend on the same day. But it is not rare that mayhem follows every arrival of the monsoon. Roads turning into rivers, drains overflowing, traffic congestion and failure of signals, accidental fall into invisible coverless manholes, waterlogging, downstairs houses being inundated with rainwater even in posh areas of Delhi-NCR, falling trees, and electrocution: these are annual phenomenon that taxpayers of national capita and surrounding areas have to confront. The administrative slackness and civil society apathy are exposed once again. In every such situation, “Tu-Tu, Main-Main” over political claims surfaces rubbing salts over the wounds of people who are bound to suffer monsoon woes every year.

Delhi deluge

The monsoonal rainfall caught civic authorities in Delhi vastly unprepared to handle the water woes. Delhi witnesses waterlogging and poor drainage system annually during the monsoon. However, the national capital is yet to get a Drainage Master Plan to tackle such a situation. Delhi’s drains are said to be quite old which cannot handle deluge-like situations. People strongly feel that the lackadaisical attitude of MCD has caused such sufferings as drains are clogged and they have not been desilted before the arrival of monsoon.

Gasping Gurugram

People in Gurugram underwent a harrowing experience as torrential rains caused severe waterlogging that led to huge inconvenience to commuters. Waterlogging also caused power outages in some parts of the satellite town. The Gurugram administration had to issue a work-from-home advisory to corporate and private offices in the face of heavy rainfalls. As per media reports, civic agencies have spent over Rs 1000 crore on drainage, yet people have to face the threat of waterlogging. A single heavy bout of rain turns roads into rivers. Residents have poured out their anger saying that the situation remains the same despite authorities spending crores on upgrading infrastructure every year.

Rampant urbanization

Delhi NCR has experienced rapid population growth and urban expansion over the years, leading to the construction of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure. This rampant urbanization has encroached upon lakes, ponds, and wetlands, which traditionally served as natural water reservoirs and helped in water absorption during heavy rains. The loss of these natural water bodies has resulted in reduced water retention capacity and increased surface runoff, exacerbating the problem of waterlogging.

Administrative apathy

The pollution levels in Delhi NCR also contribute to Monsoon woes. The region already battles severe air pollution, which is primarily caused by vehicular emissions, industrial activities, and construction dust. During the Monsoon season, when the air is cooler and heavier, the pollutants get trapped closer to the ground, worsening the air quality. This phenomenon, known as the “Monsoon pollution trap,” leads to reduced visibility, respiratory problems, and overall discomfort for the residents. Additionally, the Monsoon season often exposes the inadequate solid waste management practices in the region. Improper disposal of waste, including plastic bags, bottles, and other non-biodegradable materials, leads to their accumulation in drains and water bodies. These clogged drains prevent proper water flow, exacerbating the problem of waterlogging. Furthermore, the stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other disease-carrying vectors, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases.

Need of monsoon wedding between words & actions

A combination of factors leads to Monsoon woes in Delhi NCR. These include inadequate drainage systems, rapid urbanization and encroachment of natural water bodies, pollution levels, improper solid waste management practices, the impact of climate change, slackness of authorities concerned and lack of political will. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach involving investments in infrastructure development, sustainable urban planning, improved waste management practices, and measures to mitigate climate change. Instead of playing blame games, there must be a monsoon wedding between words and actions to make Delhi NCR more vibrant and livable. By addressing these challenges, Delhi NCR can better prepare itself to tackle Monsoon-related issues and ensure the well-being of its residents during the rainy season.

The national capital and nearby states including Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan received rains during the day.

Delhi’s Safdarjung Observatory recorded 1.2 mm rainfall, while the weather stations at Ayanagar and Lodhi Road gauged 21.7 mm and 0.6 mm. Winds gusting up to 50 kmph swept across the city.

Kuldeep Srivastava, the head of the regional forecasting center of the India Meteorological Department, said an active western disturbance in northwest India and moisture incursion due to cyclone Nisarga led to the rains.

He also said the region is not likely to witness a heat wave till June 15.

In its daily national heatwave bulletin, the IMD said Kavali (Coastal Andhra Pradesh) recorded the highest maximum temperature in the country at 40.2~CHECK~C, “No heat waves are likely over the country during next 5 days,” it said.

Meanwhile, in its monsoon update, the weather office said rainfall activity in central and south India is likely to pick up pace from next week due to a cyclonic circulation likely to form over the Bay of Bengal that may aid the progress of the monsoon, that hit Kerala on June 1.

IMD Director General Mrutunjay Mohapatra said a low pressure area is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal and move towards Odisha next week.

A low pressure is a cyclonic circulation and the first stage of any cyclone. However, it is not necessary that every low pressure intensifies into a cyclone.

“This will help advance monsoon and bring good rainfall during the next week,” Mr Mohapatra said.
The IMD had earlier predicted that the monsoon would be delayed by four days, but cyclone Nisarga helped push the monsoon to reach Kerala on its normal onset date.

“Conditions are becoming favourable for further advancement of Southwest Monsoon into some more parts of central Arabian Sea, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal, southwest and east central Bay of Bengal, entire southeast Bay of Bengal and some parts of west central Bay of Bengal during next 2 days,” the IMD said.

According to the IMD, the country as a whole has received 9 per cent more rainfall than the normal since June 1.

Meanwhile, northern states of Haryana and Punjab too received rains and their maximum temperatures continued to remain below the normal limits.

Chandigarh, the common capital of the two states, which received rains in the evening, recorded a maximum temperature of 33.2 degrees Celsius, six notches below the normal.

In Haryana, Ambala’s maximum settled at 33.2 degrees Celsius, six notches below the normal, while Karnal recorded a high of 33 degrees Celsius, six degrees below the season’s average.

Hisar’s maximum settled at 37.1 degrees Celsius, five notches below the normal, while Narnaul registered a high of 34.8 degrees Celsius, eight notches below the normal.
