Yamuna’s Fury: Thousands Homeless, Left to the Streets

The relentless surge of the Yamuna River has left a trail of devastation in its wake, rendering thousands homeless in Yamuna Bazar. Families like Munish and Sukhiram’s find themselves displaced, their homes submerged, and their lives upended.

Now, they, along with countless others, huddle on footpaths and in makeshift tents lining the Outer Ring Road. The floodwaters claimed not only their homes but also their essential supplies, leaving them utterly dependent on relief efforts.

Many are grappling with the destruction of their food rations, facing an uncertain future with little hope of immediate resettlement. The sheer scale of the displacement highlights the urgent need for comprehensive relief and rehabilitation measures.

This tragic situation underscores the vulnerability of urban communities to extreme weather events and the critical need for robust disaster preparedness and management strategies across the nation. The plight of these families serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that lie ahead in a changing climate.
