Flood water from Yamuna inundated Rajghat, Gandhi's memorial in Delhi, entering pathways and lawns. Flame atop marble platform was unaffected, but part of wall collapsed.
Water from the Yamuna entered Mahatma Gandhi's memorial at Rajghat in Delhi, inundating its lawns and pathways, Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti Vice-Chairman Vijay Goel said on July 14.
Mr. Goel said the flood water rose up to the memorial complex's entrance and later inundated the pathways leading to the marble platform where Gandhi was cremated.
"However, the water just touched the lower portion of the marble platform and the flame atop it was unaffected," he told PTI.
Visuals of Rajghat showed water surging on the Ring Road and entering the memorial.
Mr. Goel said a part of the wall of the Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti collapsed under the pressure of the water.
Earlier, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal told reporters that the flooding at Rajghat was due to the backflow from a drain in the area.
A PTI Video showed the memorial's pathways and lawns inundated by waist-deep water.
