Relief for commuters as Old Railway Bridge reopens
Vehicular movement has resumed on Delhi’s Old Railway Bridge after the Yamuna’s water level receded below the danger mark, bringing relief to commuters.
The bridge had been closed from September 2 after the river crossed the danger level, forcing traffic diversions. Its reopening on Monday night has eased connectivity between northeast and northern Delhi and improved traffic flow in central areas such as Kashmere Gate and Civil Lines.
PM announces flood assistance
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced ₹1,600 crore for flood-hit Punjab and immediate relief of ₹1,500 crore for rain-affected Himachal Pradesh.
PM Modi conducted aerial surveys and reviewed relief and rehabilitation measures in both states. He announced ₹2 lakh ex-gratia for next of kin of the deceased and ₹50,000 for the injured in Himachal Pradesh, where cloudbursts, flash floods, and landslides caused severe damage.
In Punjab, facing its worst floods, PM Modi’s assistance is in addition to ₹12,000 crore already allocated by the state. Ex-gratia payments are the same as in Himachal.
Gujarat to receive heavy rainfall
The IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall across Gujarat over the next three days. A new weather system developing over the Arabian Sea is contributing to this forecast and is also expected to affect Rajasthan and adjoining regions.
