Old Illustrations Of “Nature Always Comes Back”, Goes Viral Amid Delhi’s Flood

Old illustrations of nature returning are going viral in the middle of a flood-like situation in Delhi. The Yamuna River has reached a record width of 208.66 meters.

Due to recent heavy rains and River Yamuna flooding, the nation’s capital is currently dealing with an unprecedented flood-like situation. A large portion of the city was flooded by the strong river after nearly 45 years, forcing thousands of residents to leave for cities nearby.

Pictures from the old Red Fort showed the river climbing the walls of the heritage monument as the water overflowed the danger mark and flooded the neighboring areas. Due to this, internet users shared Yamuna before and after photos depicting how the river formerly flowed close to the back wall of the red fort.

Old illustrations viral

On Twitter, user Harsh Vats posted pictures of the flooded Red Fort along with a picture of a painting from the Mughal era that appears to depict the same place hundreds of years ago when the River Yamuna was flowing naturally. Water never forgets! Even thousands of years and centuries later, the river would come back to reclaim its boundaries. The caption of the post stated, “Yamuna reclaims its floodplain.

Many online users highlighted that the locations where river water has entered were once the Yamuna floodplains for centuries and that the water still remembers its path today.

“Nature always comes back to reclaim its course….#DelhiFloods2023 #Yamuna #RedFort,” wrote another user while sharing similar images.

“Unforgettable is the river’s resilience! Through the passage of time, spanning decades and centuries, the Yamuna returns to reclaim its floodplain, reminding us of its unyielding power,” said a third user.

Current Scenario

Returning to the current situation, the Yamuna River exceeded the previous record of 207.49 meters on Wednesday and has been above the danger mark since Sunday. Even the grounds and walkways of the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial at Rajghat were flooded by river water.

After a regulator for the Delhi Irrigation and Flood Control Department in Indraprastha was damaged late on Thursday, floodwater from the overflowing Yamuna also reached the Supreme Court’s entrance in central Delhi.
