Thanks Garg ji and Tabish for the paper. But it is difficult for me to assert the ID of my posted plant, because, at the least, I should have an aspect of leaf sheath to check. All other aspects illustrated are not available to check in my pictures.
Going through description: ...Flowering shoots 5–12 mm thick in middle and 2–3 mm thick near inflorescence. Inflorescence a long, cylindrical, compact, spike with staminate and pistillate flowers in separate aggregations, separated by 3 (0.6) – 8 (12) cm long interval of naked axis.... My posted plant compares well with the above portion of description, and thus could be most probably *Typha angustifolia* L. Regards. Dinesh On Sat, Jul 4, 2020 at 6:42 PM J.M.
