Jebol Canal, Delhi Soak Flood

JAKARTA - Some northwestern Delhi India, was hit by flooding due to the breakdown of a canal that supplies water from a nearby state. Channel repairs are underway.

"Today (in the early morning) there has been a leak in one of the auxiliary branches of the Munak Canal. The water has been diverted to other canal assistant branches," Delhi Waters Minister Atishi said in a post on X.

Images from the ANI news agency showed residents traversing the muddy waters as high as their knees in the Bawanga district in northwestern Delhi.

The Munak canal is located on the Yamuna river near the northwestern border of Delhi with the state of Haryana, which also runs the canal. No casualties were reported due to this latest flood.

Some parts of Delhi have recently experienced a severe drought after the hottest summer ever caught.

Delhi relies on most of its water from the Yamuna river that flows through the capital city and floods a year ago after heavy rains.

Several rivers in eastern India's Bihar state are also almost overflowing as water flows downstream from neighboring Nepal, some of which were also flooded earlier this week.
