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.

The effect of continuous rains is now visible on the Yamuna river in Delhi. The water level of Yamuna river crossed the warning level on Tuesday (August 26) and reached 204.56 meters. After this, the Central Water Commission (CWC) issued a flood warning.

The level was recorded at the Old Railway Bridge (ORB) at 9 pm. Officials have feared that the water level may reach 205.36 meters, which is very close to the danger mark. The administration has increased vigilance so that possible danger can be dealt with.

CWC issued warning

The Central Water Commission said that the flood warning was issued due to the rise in the water level of Yamuna on the Old Railway Bridge because it has reached the danger mark i.e. 205.33 meters. The Commission has instructed all administrative units to be vigilant. According to PTI, people living inside the river embankments will be warned and preparations are being made to take them to safe places.

Barrage is filled, water is being released every hour

According to the Central Flood Room officials, the water being released every hour from Wazirabad and Hathinikund barrage is the main reason for the increase in the water level of Yamuna. The released water takes 48 to 50 hours to reach Delhi. Despite the release of small amount of water from the upper areas, the water level is increasing, which can make the situation serious. According to the forecast, the water level will increase slightly, but by this evening it is likely to stay below the danger mark.
