The danger mark of water in the river is 205.33 metres. The floodwater had started receding in the river on Tuesday.

The satisfactory thing is that the water level is much lower than the danger mark. Exit discharge is higher than the inlet, she said.

"Rest assured, the situation is fully under control. Our monitoring and management system is active around the clock, and a close watch is being maintained on every situation," she said.

There were 31,016 Cusecs discharged from Hathnikund barrage, while 41,200 Cusecs from the Wazirabad barrage, she said.
