In a major announcement from the Shahdara District Magistrate, traffic and public movement on Loha Pul will be closed from 5pm on September 2 due to rising water level in the Yamuna river. This decision comes as the river has swollen and continues to flow near the danger mark. Notably, the Yamuna flowed above the danger mark on Monday, prompting swift action from the administration. Delhi has been reeling under moderate to heavy rainfall since the past few weeks. Heavy showers lashed the national capital on Monday, bringing the city to a standstill, with waterlogging reported from several areas in Delhi.
