Heavy rains continue to batter North India for the third consecutive day, even as rescue teams worked towards providing relief in flood-ravaged districts. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab will receive heavy to very heavy rainfall today.

At least 22 people have been killed in rain-related incidents in Himachal and neighbouring areas. Red alerts have been sounded in some areas as water level rose in all major rivers, including Ganga and Yamuna.
