Late at night, a canal of an industrial area in northern India’s Delhi broke, leading to severe flooding in the nearby JJ Colony.

The incident took place in the Munak canal near the Bawana industrial area of North Delhi district on July 10.

Visuals showed how the flooding is affecting the residents as they are struggling to navigate the waterlogged streets and protect their belongings from the rising waters.

According to reports, the breach resulted in more than three feet of water inundating six blocks of the colony, causing significant disruption and distress for local residents.
