Haridwar Battles Floodwaters: Cars Float Away In Swollen Ganga River After Rains — WATCH

Heavy rainfall in Uttakhand's Haridwar led to the rise of the Ganga River's water level, causing vehicles to float and prompting authorities to advise against bathing in the river. The monsoon, which began in Uttarakhand on June 27, resulted in severe waterlogging and water entering homes in Haridwar.

Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi are expected to receive heavy rainfall from June 29 to July 1," IMD stated in its forecast.

On June 29, Delhi experienced light rain, following the highest single-day rainfall in June in 88 years, which caused severe disruptions. Several parts of the city remain waterlogged, and prolonged power cuts were reported as Delhi recorded 228.1 mm of rainfall in 24 hours.

The IMD indicates that Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim would experience light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorms, lighting, and isolated heavy rainfall on June 29. Similar weather conditions are expected in Arunachal Pradesh, while Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura will likely experience these conditions over the next five days.

Isolated very heavy rainfall is predicted for Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim on June 30 and for Arunachal Pradesh from June 30 to July 2. The IMD had warned of a high flash flood risk in parts of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, and the NMMT subdivisions in the next 24 hours. The weather department cautioned that surface runoff and inundation might occur in fully saturated soils and low-lying areas with the expected rainfall in the next 24 hours.
