In recent days, Delhi has battling one of the most devastating floods in decades. Parts of Delhi remain severely waterlogged and several areas of the city have submerged as the water level of River Yamuna rose significantly resulting in Delhi floods. Incessant rain and the release of water from Hathnikund Barrage led Yamuna to flow above the danger mark. While the flood situation in Delhi has shattered lives, some took it as an opportunity to enjoy the weather. Several children and adults were seen splashing in the polluted floodwater at the Ring Road area. Notably, three teenagers drowned in a ditch, filled with water amid severe waterlogging in the Mukundpur area on July 14. Taking the incident seriously, CM Arvind Kejriwal had urged people to avoid such a situation. However, Delhites continue to take dips and swim in flooded waters.
