Flooding in Delhi as Yamuna swells, several schools shut, cars submerged

The water level in the swollen Yamuna in Delhi rose further during the night, flooding homes and roads and prompting emergency measures. The water level in Yamuna was 208.46 metres at 7 am today as Hathnikund barrage in Haryana continues to release water into the river. The barrage has filled up due to very heavy rain in Himachal Pradesh. Kejriwal announced this morning that all schools, government-run and private, are being shut down in view of the waterlogging situation.
