Meanwhile, the situation in Himachal Pradesh, India is gradually normalizing after the continuous rains and the terrible natural calamity of Harpa volcano. The water level of the river has come down due to lack of heavy rain in the last two days. More than 1,200 roads are still closed.

On the other hand, a debate has started between the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP over the responsibility of the flood situation in Delhi.

They alleged that the BJP-ruled Haryana government deliberately released excess water from the Hatnikund barrage towards Delhi instead of Uttar Pradesh, causing such an unexpected flood situation in the capital.
