Floods force Indian capital to shut schools, offices, and plan water rationing

The states of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Uttarakhand have recorded 105 percent, 91 percent and 22 percent more rain than average, respectively, since the monsoon season began.

Flooding in parts of New Delhi forced the city government to close all education institutions in India’s capital on Thursday and advise people to work from home, while warning that there would be water rationing after the Yamuna river broke its banks.
