Record monsoon rains have caused severe flooding and landslides in northern India.
In a week marked by record monsoon rains, northern India faced severe flooding, extensive property damage, and widespread disruption. The worst-hit region was the mountainous Himachal Pradesh state.
The monsoon rains across the country have already resulted in about 2% more rainfall than normal.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts more heavy rains in the northern regions in the coming days.
Record-breaking monsoon rains led to massive waterlogging, road caves-in, and collapsed homes across large parts of northern India. Traffic was gridlocked, and educational institutions were forced to close their doors.
In Himachal Pradesh, located approximately 500 km (310 miles) north of New Delhi, the deluge was particularly devastating. Cars, buses, bridges, and houses were swept away by the floodwaters. The state government reported that nearly 170 houses collapsed, and another 600 suffered partial damage due to the heavy rains and ensuing landslides.
In the capital city, residential areas near the Jamuna River experienced significant flooding. Roads, cars, and homes were submerged, necessitating the evacuation of thousands from low-lying areas.
The water level of the Jamuna River, flowing through New Delhi, reached a 40-year record of 207 m (681feet) on Wednesday evening, July 12. This led to the displacement of nearly 30 000 people, who were moved to relief camps. Some schools were also converted into relief camps to accommodate those affected. Hundreds of individuals, along with their livestock, sought shelter under overhead road bridges in the eastern parts of the capital.
Despite New Delhi experiencing less rainfall in the past two days, the river level rose due to an abnormally high water discharge from the Hathni Kund barrage in the neighboring Haryana state.
The Army rescued 910 students and 50 others from the flooded Chitkara University near Rajpura, Punjab.
The monsoon rains across the country have already resulted in about 2% more rainfall than normal and IMD forecasts more heavy rains in the northern regions in the coming days.
To get a better picture of the amount of rain falling on parts of India over the past couple of days, the city of Chandigarh in Punjab, received more than 762 mm (30 inches) of rain over the course of 48 hours.

I simply don't understand the mentality of these people walking nonchalantly across bridges where the water is up to the bottom of the bridge or standing on exterior balconies watching the water coming under their buildings???? Pure suicide!!!!

The wrath of Mother Earth is terrifying. The complex nature of water. The life giver and the life taker.

This is major touristic area....expanding infrastucture excessively by cutting trees and erosion of mountains. This is my home state. Its so heart breaking seeing buildings and houses got swept by water. Its not a good idea to disturb nature. 🙏🙏

My prayers to almighty allah for all those brothers and sisters who lost their houses and family. Hope all other countries send help as soon as possible. It’s shocking to see houses wiped out by floods. Inshallah everyone will recover from this soon.

Cannot control water, EVER !!! dams, leeves, locks, canals etc, should not have ever been built... It's lunacy to ever change the natural course of any waters, flows...

Poor implementation of rule regulations, allowing deforestation and construction in the fragile areas. However God grant wisdom to man not to temper with nature.

It is sad to see such massive destruction year after year, but is necessary as people appears to be disregarding their boundaries and pushing their properties more and more into the river .

If it would get some of the call centers, that would be good

The bridges are too small, and it was a bad idea to build houses next to the river like that.
