Heavy rains drench Mathura, triggering widespread waterlogging

Mathura (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 10 : The picturesque city of Mathura, known for its rich cultural heritage, has found itself submerged in a deluge of water due to heavy rainfall over the weekend. Several parts of the city grappled with severe waterlogging, causing inconvenience to residents and commuters alike.
The incessant downpour began over the weekend, saturating the region and overwhelming the drainage systems. As a result, numerous low-lying areas across Mathura have been inundated, making travel and daily activities extremely challenging for locals.
Meanwhile, several areas in Delhi, including Safdarjung, Palam airport, Rajghat, Vasant Kunj, Munirka, Narela, and others, also experienced light to moderate rain on Saturday night, which continued through Sunday morning.
While this rainfall provided some relief from the recent sultry conditions, it also triggered waterlogging problems in low-lying areas.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted further rainfall in Delhi and its surrounding regions in the coming days. This forecast brings hope for more respite from the oppressive humidity that has prevailed in the national capital in recent weeks.
Moreover, IMD has extended its rain forecast to several districts in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. The districts listed in the IMD's forecast include Mattanhail, Jhajjar, Farukhnagar, Kosali (Haryana), Sikandrabad, Bulandshahar, Shikarpur, Pahasu, Debai, Narora, Atrauli, Iglas, Raya, Hathras, Mathura, Jalesar, Sadabad, Agra, and Jajau in Uttar Pradesh. These regions are expected to experience rain within the next couple of hours.
As the monsoon season continues, residents in the affected areas are advised to exercise caution and follow safety guidelines to stay safe amidst the inclement weather.
