Water enters homes, floods streets in Delhi Bawana after canal breach
The flooding resulted from a breach in the barrage of the Munak Canal in North Delhi. A video has surfaced showing the extensive waterlogging, with residents walking through waist-deep water and water inundating homes. The entire area appears to be heavily affected by the floodwaters
Saurabh Bhardwaj, a minister in the Arvind Kejriwal government, addressed the issue, stating, “Bawana has a Career Lined Channel (CLC) that receives water from Haryana. We received information last night that the embankment had been breached. Delhi Jal Board officials are on the scene. I have directed the Chief Engineer of the Flood Department to assess the situation and provide assistance to the Jal Board.”
