New Delhi, September 05: Monsoon remained active in north India with rains lashing most parts of the region disrupting normal life and causing water levels of major rivers to rise.
In Uttarakhand, the pilgrimage to Gangotri shrine remained suspended for the second consecutive day as landslides triggered by heavy rains blocked road traffic.
Moderate to rather heavy rainfall lashed several parts of the state where major rivers Ganga and Yamuna were flowing near danger mark, the Met office said.
Heavy overnight rains in the national capital led to waterlogging at several places which threw traffic out of gear, even as weather department said that monsoon is not likely to abate soon.
Rain gauges recorded 36.4 mm rainfall since 5.30 PM yesterday. The maximum temperature for the day was 31.3 degree Celsius which is three degrees below normal, while the minimum was 24.5 degrees Celsius, one degree below normal.
