Restriction on entry of heavy vehicles

Buses will not go to Kashmiri Gate ISBT
Interstate buses coming from Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand will stop at Singhu border instead of going to ISBT Kashmiri Gate. However, there is no restriction on vehicles carrying essential services such as food items and petroleum products.
Due to heavy rains, the spate in Yamuna has left Delhi in disarray. Yamuna broke the 45-year-old record on Wednesday and the water in the river continues to rise continuously. With the increase of water in Yamuna, all the measures in Delhi seem insufficient. The water of the river has started entering inside the city, due to which the situation of boat movement has come on the roads. People are leaving their homes in the area on the banks of the Yamuna.
