‘Next big flood in Delhi is inevitable’: MoJS report ‘overlooks’ key risks
With the annual monsoon approaching, experts warn that Delhi once again stands on the brink of a major urban flood. A damning report from the committee formed by the Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS), which analysed the unprecedented Yamuna floods of July 2023, has raised alarm over the city’s growing vulnerability. The report pointed to structural mismanagement, encroachment, and hydrological blind spots as key reasons behind the worsening flood risks. However, the report itself has drawn criticism for failing to clearly explain why flood levels in 2023 reached record highs. According to an analysis by the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP), the committee’s findings gloss over crucial factors that contributed to the disaster and fail to provide a clear roadmap for preventing similar incidents in the future. Experts have warned that without urgent systemic interventions, Delhi may face yet another devastating urban flood.
