The unforeseen calamity of the Delhi floods tested the mettle of the city’s residents, as families got displaced from their homes, livelihoods were disrupted, and the vulnerable among us found themselves in dire circumstances. However, in the face of such adversity, it was heartening to witness the spirit of togetherness and compassion that emerged, exemplifying the strength of a united community.
