Delhi Police have imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC in the flood-affected north-east district for 30 days. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has urged people not to visit areas near the river banks for taking selfies, as the water levels could rise suddenly. Efforts are being made to ensure that people living in Yamuna Khadar in north-east Delhi are shifted to safer places immediately. The police have issued advisories to commuters after flooding in low-lying areas caused traffic snarls in various parts of the city.
The Chief Minister, addressing a press conference, warned people against clicking selfies and making videos near the flood-affected areas. He highlighted the danger to their lives if the water level suddenly rises. The police have issued prohibitory orders stating that people must maintain a distance of half a kilometer from the river banks.
In response to the flooding, the police have regulated traffic on the Outer Ring Road between Wazirabad Bridge and Vikas Marg, as well as Mahatma Gandhi Road between Kalighat Mandir and Delhi Secretariat. Non-destined commercial vehicles are being diverted to Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways and will not be allowed into the city.
