Although the rain stopped, the release of water from Hathnikund Barrage in neighbouring Haryana continued, leading to the prevailing situation in the national capital. The inundation in low-lying areas forced the administration to divert traffic from many roads. As a result, the traffic jams were witnessed. The water level of River Yamuna was depleted later in the night of July 13, reaching 208.63 meters at 10 pm. The water level of River Yamuna was recorded at 208.65 metres at 9 PM.
