NEW DELHI: Heavy rains in Ghaziabad led to flooding in the girls’ hostel of ABES Engineering College on Wednesday night, with viral videos showing water gushing into rooms and corridors.
The flooding caused significant damage to students' belongings, including clothes, books, documents, laptops and mobile phones.
Several videos taken by students quickly spread on social media, showing soaked bedding and personal belongings scattered across rooms.
Overnight rain disrupted daily life in parts of Ghaziabad, flooding basements of residential societies and the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) office. Despite the downpour, morning traffic was mostly unaffected as civic teams used dewatering pumps at 60 waterlogging spots, including UP Gate and Lal Kuan. The basement of the GDA office on Hapur Road, which stores many official files, was submerged under several feet of water. Although suction pumps were brought in quickly, hundreds of files were reportedly damaged before the water was cleared.
The meteorological department has issued a fresh alert for Ghaziabad and nearby areas, warning of heavy rain, thunderstorms, and lightning until Friday.
