Several areas of the city are under water as the water level of River Yamuna rose following heavy rainfall and the release of water from the Hathnikund Barrage in neighbouring Haryana.

Commuters were seen pushing their vehicles through waters on the ITO road while a massive traffic snarl was witnessed at NH-24 near Sarai Kale Khan T-Junction in Delhi. Also, the flood siuation in Delhi's Yamuna Bazar remained grim.

People were seen struggling amid the water logging in the Shanti Van area. Reacting to the severe waterlogging situation, BJP MP from East Delhi, Gautam Gambhir slammed the AAP government for not doing anything for the city's infrustructure which according to him is the reason behind the present situation.

"It's unfortunate that Delhi is flooded today. This situation does not come as a surprise to me as the present government has not spent any money on building infrastructure in the city. CM had promised to make Delhi a world-class city," said Gambhir.

On Bela Road in Delhi's Civil Lines cars got submerged and buildings were flooded as water from overflowing Yamuna river entered the area. The water level of Yamuna River is witnessing a steady decline and it was recorded at 207.98 metres at the Old Railway Bridge at 11 pm on Friday, the official data of Central Water Commission (CWC) show.
