In response to this record-breaking rainfall and gusty winds blowing at speeds of 70 to 80 km/h, the entire machinery of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been deployed on a war footing.
Prioritising citizen safety above all, the BMC’s Disaster Management Department is monitoring the situation round the clock. Meanwhile, a Special General Body Meeting has been convened for July 9, during which intense debates over rain-related updates and incidents are anticipated.
Special teams have been stationed at various vulnerable locations to provide immediate responses to emergencies, including tree collapses, short circuits, and partial or complete cave-ins of dilapidated buildings.
To ensure rapid drainage of waterlogged areas, high-capacity dewatering pumps, suction machinery, and additional manpower have been continuously operationalised.
The weather in the national Capital is expected to remain pleasant on Tuesday as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a generally cloudy sky with light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in several parts of the city. The showers are expected to provide relief from the prevailing humid and hot weather.
The IMD has issued a ‘Yellow Alert’ for Delhi on Tuesday. It has also forecast rainfall across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and Chandigarh between July 7 and July 11, with more significant rainfall likely on July 7 and July 9. Residents have been advised to plan their travel according to the latest weather updates during this period.
According to the IMD, Delhi’s maximum temperature on Tuesday is likely to remain between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is expected to be between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius.
The weather department had predicted heavy rainfall in Delhi-NCR on Monday. However, despite cloudy skies throughout the day, most parts of the national Capital received only light drizzle or very light rainfall, falling short of expectations.
