The monsoon season in Pakistan has caused catastrophic flooding, destroying villages, killing over 700 people, and highlighting the country's vulnerability to climate change, with authorities criticized for inadequate preparedness and response.
The Yamuna river in India, swollen by monsoon rains, has flooded parts of Delhi and is now lapping at the walls of the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra. This is the first time in almost 50 years that the river's waters have touched the outer walls of the 17th-century monument. However, officials from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) have reassured the public that the Taj Mahal is not under threat, as its design prevents water from entering the main mausoleum even during high floods. The flooding is part of a wider pattern of extreme weather events in India, which experts attribute to climate change.
