Delhi set to witness another flood as water level in Yamuna reaches danger mark

New Delhi : The Yamuna River in Delhi has once again surpassed the danger mark due to increased water release via the Hathinikund Barrage. As of 4 pm on Sunday, the water level in the National Capital reached 206.31 meters.

In response to this situation, the administration in the low-lying areas has issued an advisory, urging residents to vacate their homes and seek safety in higher areas.

The Delhi Government is currently on high alert as a significant discharge of 2 lakh cusecs of water has been released into the Yamuna River from Haryana's Hathinikund Barrage.

Additionally, the Hindon River in Noida also experienced a rise in water level, resulting in the submergence of several houses in low-lying areas on Saturday. The police have responded to the situation and issued an alert to residents regarding the potential risks.
