Government is making plans to reduce pollution – Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa

He said that after implementing this process, its results will be clear and when it rains, there will definitely be a reduction in pollution. He believes that the celestial rain will improve the air quality in the capital and will provide relief to the people.

People will get relief from weather improvement measures

Experts say that after Diwali, the level of haze and smog in the capital always increases, hence such steps are necessary. Delhi government is trying to control pollution as well as provide immediate relief to the people by taking measures to improve the weather. In the coming days, the general public will be able to experience the impact of cloud seeding and other measures.

Meanwhile, citizens have also been appealed to be careful while using vehicles and in construction work and follow the instructions given by the government, so that it is possible to improve the air quality.

It has been raining continuously in Delhi-NCR for the last 24 hours. While this rain gave relief to people from humidity and heat, waterlogging and traffic jams were also seen in many areas. According to the Meteorological Department, even today i.e. on 8th October, light to moderate rain will continue throughout the day. During this period the temperature is likely to be around maximum 30 degrees and minimum 19 degrees Celsius. Due to high humidity in the air, coolness is being felt and people are enjoying the cool breeze in the morning and evening.

Rain provided relief from heat

For the last few days, Delhiites were troubled by the humid heat, but the rains that started from Monday night changed the weather in the entire NCR. Continuous drizzle has cooled the atmosphere of the capital.

Areas like Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad also recorded a drop in temperature due to continuous rain. At many places, people faced some problems due to waterlogging and traffic, but overall the weather remained ‘cool-cool’.

Flood risk increased in Delhi due to release of water from Haryana

Officials said 2.07 lakh cusecs from Hathinikund barrage, 67,260 cusecs from Wazirabad Barrage and 61,958 cusecs of water from Okhla barrage. Due to excess water being released from the three barrages, the water level increased to 205.75 meters in the morning.

Authorities have advised people living in the submergence area of ​​Yamuna to move to safe places as the river water level is continuously rising and it is expected to reach a 206 meter withdrawal mark by this evening.

In Delhi Standing on Flood threat

Let me tell you, such situations were created earlier also, when water was flooded in Delhi after releasing water from Haryana. After the release of water from Hathinikund barrage in Haryana, the water level of Yamuna is continuously increasing, due to which there is a threat of floods in Delhi.

The Meteorological Department in Delhi has also predicted heavy rains and an orange alert has been issued for the capital. Earlier, such situations were created when water was flooded in many places in Delhi after releasing water from Haryana.

The national capital Delhi, Gurugram, Noida and many surrounding areas are raining. Due to this, there was heavy jam in many areas. The Meteorological Department (IMD) said at around four o’clock that moderate rains in the southern and central parts of Delhi are now expected to increase even to the northern parts.

There is a complete jam from the Non-violence site to Qutub Minar Metro Road on Mehrauli-Guraugram road. There was also heavy jam on Najafgarh Road in Uttam Nagar.

This year, the monsoon rains in the country have broken many records. In Delhi too, this time the rain has been more than the last several years. As a result, there was relief from the humid heat, but the life of the people was completely affected.

Major roads got jammed, people had to face problems due to waterlogging in many places and three school children were injured due to falling one wall. According to official data, it has been the highest rainfall in the last 15 years.

15 -year record broken

According to the information, 399.8 mm of rain has been recorded so far in August. Earlier, in the year 2010, 455.8 mm of rain was received. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said that the monsoon has been active for a long time this time. The reason for this is being believed to be the active geographical phenomenon La-Nina.

Effect of rain- capital submerged capital

Due to continuous rains, there was waterlogging in many areas of Delhi. A Delhi Traffic Police official said that traffic on Delhi-Noida Direct (DND) flyway, Mathura Road, ITO, Geeta Colony, Dhaulakuan and Badarpur-Ashram route has been severely affected.

Due to the queue of vehicles for several kilometers, the office going to the office and school buses faced a lot of problems. On social media, the passengers complained that even the ambulance got stuck in the jam.

A passenger said, “Why is traffic on the National Highway eight going to Delhi so slow?” Even the ambulance is having difficulty in moving an inch. “Another passenger wrote, referring to being trapped on the road from Badarpur to Sarita Vihar,” It took me more than an hour to cover a distance of four kilometers and now there is no movement for 30 minutes.

Accident due to old wall collapse

3 children were injured when an old wall collapsed in Mandavali area of ​​East Delhi, although they narrowly survived. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) received complaints of waterlogging and falling trees.

At the same time, the Public Works Department deployed pumps and employees for quick drainage. The Meteorological Department has warned that in the next few hours, strong winds may blow with light to moderate rains.

AAP accuses corruption on BJP

While people are upset due to heavy rains, Delhi politics is also hot. The App and Congress accused the BJP that Delhi was submerged due to neglect and corruption. At the same time, BJP says that under the supervision of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, agencies immediately came into action and did not stop life completely.

Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj shared the video on social media and questioned the government, while BJP’s Virendra Sachdeva described it as “long monsoon, but vigilant administration”.

Delhi is seeing a different mood of monsoon this year. By the middle of August, this time the capital has received as much rain as it usually occurs in the whole year. Statistics show that in the last 25 years, so much rainfall was not recorded earlier in August. Despite this, the people of Delhi could not get relief from the sticky heat.

17 -year -old humid record broken

According to the Indian Meteorological Department, the average humidity in Delhi from June 1 to August 18 was 76.5 percent. This is the second largest level since 2008. The average humidity of the capital is about 67.2 percent during the monsoon under normal conditions.

The special thing is that from August 14 to 18, the humidity broke all records and the average humidity reached 89.2 percent, which is about one and a half times more than normal.

June and July become the main reasons

Experts say that this time the biggest reason for increasing humidity was June and July in the month of Monsoon. Humidity finished third in June after 1973, while in July it was recorded at number two.

The situation was better in the early days of August, but between August 14 and 18, the sudden humidity level increased so much that all the previous records were left behind.

Dark connection between rain and moisture

July and August are traditionally considered to be the most rainy months in Delhi. This time only eight in July and four days in August till now, it has been such that it did not rain.

Meteorologists say that continuous rains increased the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. When the rain is fast, the temperature comes down, but the remaining moisture after light or intermittent rains makes the humidity unbearable.

Moisture flow from South and Northeast

Even though there was no rainfall of 19 days in Delhi in June, the flow of moisture increased towards Delhi due to early monsoon active in South and Northeast India.

The monsoon officially reached the capital on June 29 and since then continuous rains soaked the city. Meanwhile, the moisture level remained continuously high.

Humidity continued on Thursday

On Thursday too, Delhi was suffering from humid heat. Light rain was recorded at some places, but it could not get relief. The maximum temperature was 34.8 degrees Celsius that was 0.6 degrees above normal, while the minimum temperature was 25.9 degrees. The air moisture level remained between 64 and 89 percent throughout the day.

It is still raining today

Delhi is also raining today (Friday). Earlier, the Meteorological Department had predicted that the sky will be cloudy on Friday and there may be rain with strong winds.

The minimum temperature was recorded at 26.6 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature is estimated to reach 35 degrees. The level of relative humidity was 80 percent at 8.30 am and has recorded 0.1 mm rainfall in the last 24 hours.

Delhi’s Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 98, which according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) falls in the ‘satisfactory’ category. According to CPCB, AQI between zero to 50 is considered ‘good’, between 51 and 100 ‘satisfactory’, between 101 and 200 ‘medium’, between 201 to 300, ‘bad’, 301 to 400 is considered ‘very bad’ and between 401 and 500 is considered ‘serious’.

However, experts say that the relief cooling is still far away and the capitalists may have to face humid weather for a few more days.

One person was killed when a tree fell on a motorcycle during heavy rains on Thursday (August 14) in Kalkaji, the capital Delhi. Taking cognizance of this incident, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has taken big action.

CM Rekha Gupta has ordered the construction of the road, the maintenance departments PWD, urban development, MCD and NDMC to immediately identify all such trees which can be threatened for people’s lives and property and they should be sorted as well as to read these dangerous trees or transplantation in safe place.

CM Rekha Gupta expressed grief

According to the statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Office of Delhi Government, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta expressed grief and grief over the incident of Kalkaji. Also said that due to heavy rains and strong winds in the monsoon, unprotected, very large or dilapidated trees located on the roadside or public places pose a serious danger.

In such a situation, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta clearly stated that the sorting and maintenance of these trees will not only prevent accidents but will also keep the traffic smooth and will also reduce the damage to other services including electricity.

‘Such incidents should not happen again’

According to the Chief Minister’s Office of the Delhi Government, Rekha Gupta said, “The security of Delhiites is the top priority of his government, it is our responsibility that such incidents should not happen again and the public can live in a safe environment so that all departments and agencies have been instructed to nominate the responsible officers, who will not only monitor the dangerous trees but will also present their pruning according to the safety standards.”

‘Priority to sorting of trees’

According to the CMO of Delhi government, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also said that priority of sorting of trees should be given in areas where there is more movement of pedestrians and vehicles.

The rainy season continues in the capital Delhi on Thursday (August 14) since morning. Roads were submerged due to continuous rains in NCR including Delhi. People had to face a lot of problems due to waterlogging on the roads. At the same time, there is a possibility of light rain on Independence Day on Friday (August 15).

According to the Meteorological Department, on Independence Day, the national capital will be cloudy with the possibility of light rain. According to IMD, the sky will be cloudy on Friday (August 15), the maximum temperature is expected to be between 33 ° C and the minimum temperature is between 23 and 25 ° C.

Waterlogging increased trouble

However, no weather warnings or alerts have been issued for Friday. In the last one week, the city has received intermittent rain, which has brought some relief from the humidity and sometimes there has been waterlogging in the low-lying areas, which increased the troubles of the people.

Rain will remain all week

According to the forecast of the Indian Meteorological Department, there is going to be a continuous rainfall in NCR this whole week. The Meteorological Department says that from August 14 to August 20, the sky will be surrounded by most clouds and in many areas, there may be light rains and thunderstorms. This will also record the temperature and people will get relief from the humid heat.

Decline in pollution levels

The effect of continuous rains is also visible on AQI. There has been a significant decline in pollution levels and air is being recorded in many parts of NCR in the ‘good’ category. According to experts, due to rain, the dust and polluting elements present in the atmosphere have been washed away, due to which people are getting fresh and clean air.

Advice to take precautions

The Meteorological Department has advised people to take precautions during the rain. People will feel relieved of humidity and heat, soaking in NCR for the next few days and enjoying the coolness.
