Water levels in the Yamuna river in Delhi are receding, allowing for the reopening of roads and the resumption of normal operations for the Delhi Metro. The Delhi government is also providing financial aid to flood-affected families and plans to set up special camps for those who lost their identification documents. However, the city must not forget the lessons learned from this flood and must prepare for future climate-related disasters. Water supply to affected areas is expected to be restored from Monday.
Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, who also holds the education portfolio, said students will not just be evaluated on the basis of curricular knowledge, but rather on their ability to apply their understanding in a variety of real-life situations.
