Causes of Flooding in Delhi During Monsoon Seasons

Delhi faces severe flooding during monsoon seasons due to unchecked and poorly planned urban expansion. The excessive concretization of roads and riverbeds, leading to reduced absorption of rainwater into the soil, exacerbates the problem. Additionally, clogged drains due to solid waste disposal further contribute to the flooding. Experts highlight the necessity for public awareness campaigns to prevent littering and to maintain proper drainage systems.
