The flood crisis in Delhi has deepened as the Yamuna river continues to flow above the danger mark, submerging vast low-lying areas of the capital. Thousands of residents are facing displacement, while relief and rescue operations are being intensified by the administration.
CM Kejriwal’s Appeal
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers, volunteers, and local leaders to step up relief efforts and provide maximum assistance to flood-affected families. In his message, he emphasized that food packets, clean drinking water, and urgent medical supplies must reach stranded citizens without delay.
Kejriwal also highlighted the importance of evacuation drives, requesting people living near riverbanks to cooperate with authorities and move to safer zones. He added that the government has set up temporary shelters to ensure displaced families have basic facilities.
Anurag Dhanda Spreads the Word
AAP national media in-charge Anurag Dhanda retweeted the Chief Minister’s appeal, amplifying the urgency of the situation on social media. Dhanda urged party members, volunteers, and even citizens outside the AAP fold to extend their support in this humanitarian crisis. He stressed that unity at this time is crucial to protect lives and restore normalcy.
Relief Measures on the Ground
According to officials, multiple agencies including disaster response forces, police teams, and civil defense volunteers have been deployed. Boats and rescue equipment are being used to evacuate families trapped in waterlogged areas.
Authorities are also distributing dry ration kits, drinking water bottles, and medicines to affected residents. Doctors and health teams have been stationed at relief camps to monitor any outbreak of waterborne diseases.
Safety Advisory to Citizens
With water levels showing no sign of receding, authorities have warned residents of vulnerable zones to remain alert. Emergency helplines have been issued, and citizens have been advised not to venture into waterlogged streets to avoid accidents or infections.
The Delhi administration has assured that 24/7 monitoring is in place and all departments are coordinating closely to mitigate the crisis.
A Call for Unity
The AAP leadership’s message underlines the importance of collective responsibility in dealing with natural disasters. With Arvind Kejriwal urging ground-level assistance and Anurag Dhanda amplifying the call digitally, the government is hoping for strong public participation in relief and rescue operations.
