Delhi is currently struggling with a serious flood crisis. The water level of the Yamuna river was recorded at 205.91 meters on 6 September 2025, which is 0.58 meters above the danger mark (205.33 m). This means that the water of Yamuna has crossed the danger limit and water has been filled in many low -lying areas. The report of the Central Water Commission states that Yamuna is still in the Severe Flood Situation.
The situation in many parts of the capital like Mayur Vihar, Kashmiri Gate, Akshardham, Uttam Nagar, Jahangirpuri and Mukherjee Nagar is worrying. People have been kept in temporary shelter by putting tents in many areas along the banks of Yamuna. More than 70 families are now living in tents on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. Talking about rain, this year, Delhi has received 52 percent more rainfall than average, due to which the water level of Yamuna is continuously increasing. In such a situation, let us tell you what to do if you have flood water near your house too.
What to do if you have come near your house?
In many areas of Delhi, water has entered inside the houses. Especially in places which are in low -lying areas or near drains. If you also live in such an area, then some important steps and helpline numbers can be useful for you.
1. If you have started filling water in your house, then immediately shift with the family to a high and safe place.
2. If there is water in the house, then turn off the electrical equipment and cut the power supply from the main switch, so that there is no risk of current.
3. Keep your essential medicines, identity cards (Aadhaar, PAN etc.), mobile charger, power bank, some clothes and food and drink in advance in a bag.
4. Due to filling water, mosquitoes increase, due to which there is a risk of diseases. In such a situation, use mosquito nets and keep the body covered.
These are the helpline numbers to help in Delhi flood conditions
1. If you are trapped in a disaster like floods, or someone needs immediate relief and rescue, then call the Delhi government’s disaster management helpline 1077. This is a 24×7 helpline, that is, you can call it at any time. Whether someone needs a temporary shelter, needs food and water, or a rescue operation at some place, help can be found by calling this number.
2. If your area is flooded, sewer overflowing, or water drainage has stopped, then you can call the helpline of Delhi Jal Board 1916. This helpline is for problems like waterlogging, sewerage blockage, and tank overflow. After calling, you will get a reference number through SMS, so that you can track what action is being taken on your complaint. If you want, you can also download the mobile app of Delhi Jal Board, from where you can file a complaint and follow-up.
3. If there is waterlogging in your area, the road is broken, the drains are open, the garbage is not being cleaned, or the street light is not working, then you can register all these complaints by calling 311. The number 311 acts like a complaint portal, from where your complaint is delivered to NDMC, MCD, PWD, Jal Board or concerned department. Apart from this, some municipal corporations also have 311 apps, from which you can send a photo and complain.
