New Delhi: A breach in the canal that supplies water from Haryana to Delhi led to knee-deep waterlogging in parts of a residential colony in Bawana here, leaving residents stranded in their homes.
Water from the Munak canal barrage entered J, K and L blocks of the colony in northwest Delhi early Thursday, causing a lot of inconvenience and worry to the local people, a police officer said.
"We have informed all concerned departments including the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), flood control department, public welfare department and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) at midnight after the canal overflowed," the official said.
Officials said water flow from Sonipat has reduced and officials have requested Haryana to close the canal gates to control the flow. This canal originates from the Yamuna River at Munak in Karnal district of Haryana.
Delhi Water Minister Atishi wrote about the incident in a post on , which maintains the Munck Canal.
"Water has been diverted to another sub-branch of the canal. Repair work has started and will be completed by today afternoon. The broken sub-branch of the canal will become functional from tomorrow."
