The water level of Yamuna river reached 205.75 meters on the old railway bridge in Delhi on Tuesday morning, crossing the danger mark 205.33 meters. An official gave this information. The rising water level of the river is creating a threat of floods in the low -lying areas of Delhi.
On Monday, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta assured that the government is fully ready to deal with the situation. According to officials, the water level of the river on the old Yamuna bridge was at 205.68 meters at six in the morning, which is far above the danger mark 205.33 meters.
Flood risk increased in Delhi due to release of water from Haryana
Officials said 2.07 lakh cusecs from Hathinikund barrage, 67,260 cusecs from Wazirabad Barrage and 61,958 cusecs of water from Okhla barrage. Due to excess water being released from the three barrages, the water level increased to 205.75 meters in the morning.
Due to the release of record amount of water from Haryana, the risk of floods in Delhi has increased, in view of which the authority is very cautious. Authorities have advised people living in the submergence area of Yamuna to move to safe places as the river water level is continuously rising and it is expected to reach a 206 meter withdrawal mark by this evening.
In Delhi Standing on Flood threat
Let me tell you, such situations were created earlier also, when water was flooded in Delhi after releasing water from Haryana. After the release of water from Hathinikund barrage in Haryana, the water level of Yamuna is continuously increasing, due to which there is a threat of floods in Delhi.
The Meteorological Department in Delhi has also predicted heavy rains and an orange alert has been issued for the capital. Earlier, such situations were created when water was flooded in many places in Delhi after releasing water from Haryana.
