The water level of Yamuna in Delhi is continuously increasing. The water level of Yamuna on the old railway bridge on the morning of Thursday (4 September) was 207.47 meters. The water of the swollen Yamuna is continuously filling in the surrounding areas. The wall of Nigabodh Ghat is broken. Water has entered the secretariat, where the Chief Minister, cabinet ministers and major bureaucrats have offices.
Apart from this, people in Wazirabad said that they have become very upset with the flood. Everyone comes to take votes, but no one comes at the time of need.
Water also in Monastery Market, Civil Lines and Geeta Colony
The Monastery Market is completely submerged. Ring road is also flooded. The vehicles are running half -submerged and there is a long jam on the streets. Water has reached the Swami Narayan temple in Civil Lines. People have gone to the roofs due to the flooding of the temple premises. In the Gita Colony, flood -like conditions have been created in Yamuna. The crematorium is also not untouched.
Relief camp also submerged
The areas around Vasudev Ghat have also been flooded. Some low-lying areas like Mayur Vihar Phase-1 have also been flooded. Even relief camps built there are submerged. Areas like Yamuna Bazaar along with Monastery Market are still submerged. Residents hope that water will decrease and normal condition will be restored.
Flood water has also reached the Hanuman Baba temple with Shri Marghat near Kashmiri Gate. A devotee said, “Every year when the water level of Yamuna rises, it leads to a bath of Lord Hanuman. This is holy water. We respect it. ”
Big loss in cremation ghats
Sanjay Sharma, head of Geeta Colony crematorium, claimed, “Water entered the crematorium in 2023 and today the water has been flooded for about 10 feet again. The damage is very big because all the wood outside has been wasted. We are not getting any help from the administration. “Why some cremation ghats have already been closed, so people are coming here from far and wide.
The effect of Yamuna floods is also seen in Mathura, Agra and Aligarh. Water has reached the villages, fields and link roads located along the Yamuna of Mahavan Tehsil and Umbrella Tehsil in Mathura, which has eliminated the connectivity of the village. Many villages in Tappal region of Aligarh have been hit by floods.
