NEW DELHI: When residents came downstairs this week after spending days on upper floors to escape the floodwaters that had entered the narrow congested lanes of Majnu ka Tila, they were met by muddy floors and the strong, overwhelming stench of decaying goods.

Popular for its Tibetan restaurants and guest houses, the unplanned colony in north Delhi's Aruna Nagar, with several houses built up to four or five storeys, is located 4km away from the Monastery market with a large section abutting the Yamuna.
