Delhi weather has been crazy this monsoon! Yamuna level at 207+ meters is really concerning. Hope the government's preparations are adequate for people living in low-lying areas.

Good that DMRC is being proactive about Yamuna Bank station. Metro is lifeline for Delhiites, but safety first. Hope they restore normal access soon.

Traveling to Delhi for business tomorrow. Should I reschedule? This weather situation seems quite serious with both flights and metro affected.

While the advisory is good, SpiceJet should also provide proper compensation and accommodation facilities for stranded passengers. Many airlines don't handle these situations well.

Monsoon in North India has been particularly harsh this year. Climate change is real, people! We need better infrastructure to handle these extreme weather events.
