Water level in Yamuna crosses danger mark again, Delhi govt on high alert

New Delhi: The water level in the Yamuna has crossed the danger mark in Delhi again following heavy discharge from Hatnhnikund barrage in Haryana.

At 10 am this morning, the river was flowing at 206.10 metres and is expected to rise to 206.7 metres by the evening.

The Delhi government is on high alert after over 2 lakh cusecs of water was released from Haryana.

Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi has said the Arvind Kejriwal government is monitoring the developments closely.

The Yamuna has been in spate for over a week now, leading to flooding in several parts of the national capital.

The main reason behind the steady rise in the water level is the release of water from the Haryana barrage.

The barrage has received a huge volume of water following the monsoon fury in Himachal.

Atishi has said some parts of Yamuna Khadar might see flooding if the water level rises beyond 206.7 metres.

"The government is fully prepared to carry out immediate evacuations in these vulnerable areas" she added.
