New Delhi, Sep 4 (PTI) Vehicular movements have been halted on the Old Wazirabad Bridge in Delhi after water from Yamuna river flooded a drain bridge near Soor Ghat on Wazirabad Road, police said on Thursday.

According to an advisory issued by the Delhi Traffic police, all vehicles will be diverted from Soor Ghat under the Wazirabad flyover.
