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?
