The rising Yamuna level in Delhi has resulted in the displacement of almost 40,000 people, mainly in east Delhi. Many of these residents are now living in precarious conditions, setting up makeshift tents on busy roads or staying in homes that are nearly submerged. While the Delhi government has provided accommodation for some, others are still in need. In one area near Akshardham Temple, nearly 60 families lost their temporary homes due to heavy rain. Another affected area, Yamuna Bazar, has seen many homes almost completely submerged.

Residents from Yamuna Khadar in Mayur Vihar Phase I have been provided sturdier tents by the government. However, the floods have caused significant losses for the farmers in the area. Hira Lal, a farmer who paid ₹30,000 to lease land for farming, lost all his crops. He expressed concern about being unable to claim his losses, unlike the landowners.

The situation has forced residents to find alternative ways to navigate the flooded areas. Sohan Kumar, a resident from Yamuna Bazar, mentioned that walking is no longer possible, so they are relying on boats to reach the main road. Many residents are facing a difficult situation, with little relief from the government other than drinking water.

The rising water levels in the Yamuna River have caused immense hardship and suffering for the people of Delhi. Immediate action is needed to provide assistance and support to those affected by the floods.
